DELAY PROCESS 


 

DELAY PROCESS ( process ; duration ) 
Parameter Type   Description
process  Longint in Process number
duration  Longint in Duration expressed in ticks

DELAY PROCESS delays the execution of a process for a number of ticks (1 tick = 1/60th of a second). During this period, process does not take any processing time. Even though the execution of a process may be delayed, it is still in memory.

If the process is already delayed, this command delays it again. The parameter duration is not added to the time remaining, but replaces it. Therefore pass zero (0) for duration if you no longer want to delay a process.

If the process does not exist, the command does nothing.

Note: You cannot use this command to assign a stored procedure on the server machine from a client machine (process<0).

See example in Record Locking.

See example for the command Process number.
