Need a cics environment delay of less than 1 second.

In an effort to improve efficiency I need to be able to do a time delay of
100s or 1000s or seconds. The "interval delay" command will not go below
1 second.

Any ideas?

Hi,

As I know it is not possible to delay below 1 second. I think even it is not required in real time. 1 second is not observable. You can get more information and limitations from publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/txen/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.txseries510.doc/erzhai0032.htm

Bye,
Reddy.

hi,
i had also faced the same problem while tried to animate the output,you can try by inserting some dummy loop of 1000 or 20000 iterations as you needed to do this,but as far as i know there is know built in facility for less than 1 sec delay.
try it,best of luck

Thanks for the input on this I appreciate it.

FYI.......I'm now experimenting with repeated accesses of the absolute time feature of CICS which is in milliseconds. I should be able to act upon the passage of time below seconds.
