I never tested this in BASIC, So I'm not saying it doesn't do the same thing, which I assume it should. So don't take the "NOT the BASIC" to mean that BASIC will only run once in a loop - I just never tested it. George -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mail

Brian, I am not familiar with the "Ideal" flavor. However, I do know that there are several differences in how some commands work between the native UniData and Pick flavor. The LOCATE command comes to mind and has burned me a few times. Depending on the line of code, it may still compile, b

Pause can have a timeout value on it, so if for example the maximum time you want to wait is 10 seconds, PAUSE can automatically resume then, at which point you can check if the phantom is still running or a flag doesn't exist. Still doesn't solve your UniData only problem though. Regards, Dan

I guess I am confused on the definition of "quantized". NAP 250 seems to do what I want. Doing a LOOP 1000 and NAP 1 inside the loop, makes it takes quite a few seconds, where I would assume it would be 1 second (1000 x 1 millisecond - 1 second). However, loop 20 with NAP 250 in the loop takes 5

It is platform specific. For example, Windows will only tell you time at a resolution of 16 milliseconds. Since U2 uses the underlying OS time mechanism, that means its resolution is limited by the OS's. So, LOOP 1000 and NAP 1 will probably take somewhere in the range of 1-16 seconds, dependin
