Your program can call the PAUSE intrinsic to delay its own execution. The PAUSE intrinsic places the process in a suspended state. and keeps it there for the number of seconds you specify in the interval parameter. At the end of the specified interval, the process re-enters an active state. The maximum interval allowed is approximately 2,147,484 seconds (almost 25 days).
The following is an example of a PAUSE intrinsic call:
INTERVAL specifies the length of time, in seconds, that you want the process to remain suspended. MPE/iX resumes execution with the statement following the PAUSE intrinsic call.
