If the other process has the ability to write to a file on completion, you
can have RBase check for the file. If it has the ability to write to the
$Environ you can check for the value of the environment variable.
You could do this checking in your eep in a while loop, but to keep from
freezing the processor, you could use the windows API Sleep function called
using DLCall.
In your eep:
set var vFound integer = 0
set var vLoop Integer = 0
set var vRet Integer = 0
-- next var vSleep is the ms to sleep
set var vSleep integer = 500
If chkFunc('Sleep')) = 0 then
STDCALL void 'Sleep' (integer)
endif
-- The Sleep function doesn't return a value but DLCall still has to have
the syntax structure as if it does
-- Set the max number of loops for your while loop to run before timing out
while vLoop < 20 and vFound = 0 then
SET VAR vret = (dlcall('Kernel32','Sleep', vsleep))
-- Some code to check for a file or environ variable
-- if (the file or environment variable is found) then
-- set var vFound = 1
-- else
-- Set var vFound = 0
-- endif
set var vLoop = (.vLoop + 1)

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Pausing within an EEP
I have an eep that first goes outside of Rbase to do something then with
that I
proceed with the eep. If I put a pause 2 between the to processes it
works,
however, with no pause Rbase with start doing its thing before the first
is
complete. How do I get the first process to run and upon completion do
the
second part.
