My users would forget to shut down the app at night then their
nightly backup would run on the open data files.

So, I just set it to 120 minutes, if they have not saved it by then
I do not worry about it.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Using the Timeout


I am considering using the timeout feature in my apps and have a question.

I am planning on using a command file to check to see if the user is in a
form that has not been saved. If it has been saved on no changes done then
exit.

I found this in the help file

SET VARIABLE RBTI_TIMEOUT TEXT = 'cleanup.rmd'

I am thinking of this command file but I do not know how to cancel the exit
and reset the timeout.

--command file

If RBTI_DIRTY_FLAG = 1 then
--cancel the exit routine
Endif

Does anybody have any routine they would like to share or how I abort the
exit routine??

Thanks

Dan Goldberg
