How to delay my program for 5 sec in Netrexx

[Quique Britto]

Hi guys,

is their a built in method to delay the execution of a program by a number of seconds, basically I need to run a method after a 5 second delay.
I have tried using the Java Thread.Sleep( 5000 ) but cannot get it to work in Netrexx.

any help is much appreciated..


Java code

Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);//sleep for 5000 ms
   
}
catch(ItrerruptedException ie)

Hello Quique,

I am including here a piece of Code I did originally get from Rene Vincent Jansen. PRESIDENT RexxLA, *years ago* to resolve some necessary DELAYS (and also garbage collection) between important STEP's of a program, to resolve some open issues I did have at this time.

==================================================
Thus, I *think*, that you should use Thread.currentThread.sleep(500) for a delay of 5 seconds....

Thomas.

PS: As my runtime.compatibility packae is not yet in the current NetRexxC 3.01RC1 distribution, the easiest way for you would to extract the inline code
above, and adapt it to your needs ... :-)

Hope this helps ... :-)

Hi Quique,

something like

say 'take 5'
Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000) --sleep for 5000 ms
say 'took5'

should work.

best regards,

René.

Thomas,

please - there are so many things wrong with this, I don't know where
to start.
Actually, you never should do explicit garbage collects, and neither
should you depend on gc to cause delays - there are kinds of parallel gc
algorithms nowadays.

This was, far away and long ago, some quick way to assess a memory
problem. It should go to where it belongs.

best regards,

René.

Is it possible that the problem is not in the "sleep" but in your
"catch"?  If that is a cut-n-paste from your code, there is a typo
(which I would have expected to generate a compile-time error).

Then, Rene, I would propose that somebody more knowledgable than I
am, is responding to Qitto's demand.

But I would like to tell your that I'm using this ancient Code of
you/your team
still now without any problems.... :-)

I'm surely NO Java Expert.

I'm, however, thinking, that I do know Rexx, ooRexx, and NetRexx quite
well, ;-)

... and I would like to thank you, personally, that you did help me out
with your advise years ago ...

Thomas.

is the variable 'e' previously used for another exception type in your

Hi guys,

is their a built in method to delay the execution of a program by a
number of seconds, basically I need to run a method after a 5 second
delay.
I have tried using the Java Thread.Sleep( 5000 ) but cannot get it to
work in Netrexx.

any help is much appreciated..

Java code

Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);//sleep for 5000 ms

}
catch(ItrerruptedException ie)

it's a snippet :) and I guess you have declared "e" as ActionEvent somewhere before.

 

Just took the snippet, added it into eclipse/w NetRexx plugin and got
