Arthur,
We developed our own program for this function and it incorporates a SLEEP
function. Here is a code snip from the program:
A010 DS 0H
GET SYSIN,CMDIN
CLI CMDIN,C'*' COMMENT
BE A010 YES, BYPASS
CLC CMDIN(5),=CL5'SLEEP'
BNE A020
PACK DW,CMDIN+5(8) HOW LONG TO SLEEP
CVB R8,DW
ST R8,SLEEPTIM
STIMER WAIT,BINTVL=SLEEPTIM
B A010
And here is a snip of the input file used by our SHUTDOWN program:
Z NET,QUICK
F OMVS,STOPPFS=ZFS
F BPXOINIT,SHUTDOWN=FORKINIT
SLEEP 00020000 SLEEP FOR 20 SEC (LOW ORDER DIGIT = 0.01 SEC)
It should be fairly easy to write your own version of this type of program.
Hope this helps.

1. Join the Listserv so your posts can be seen by everyone,
not just those of us who read via Usenet. Instructions are
at the end of this message (and every message sent via the
Listserv).
2. How are you submitting the commands? Homegrown program?
SDSF in batch? REXX or CLIST? JCL? Something else?
3. There are a lot of programs to automate commands. Some
are free (e.g. from <http://www.cbttape.org/>).
4. I find I've been saying this an awful lot lately, but
you ought to read "How to ask questions the smart way"
<http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>.
Actually, everyone should.
