sleep-descriptor (optional)
A sleep-descriptor causes the transaction to pause for a specified number of
seconds. You can use a sleep-descriptor to pause the transaction for a
specified period of time before or after processing a key-descriptor. The
waiting period takes into account the time the host computer may take to
process the information entered on the screen, and to move to the next screen.
The transaction waits at any point where you place a sleep-descriptor.
Usually, a sleep-descriptor is placed after a key-descriptor to indicate that the
session should wait for a specified amount of time to ensure that the next
screen is ready.
Note: There is an inherent 5 second transaction time for each
sleep-descriptor input. The total value of the sleep-descriptor and the
inherent time must not exceed the time out value. For example, with 10
buffers, the inherent wait time is a minimum of 50 seconds. Therefore, the
time out value should be greater than 50 seconds.
Each sleep-descriptor follows the syntax shown in Figure 2-15.
