PAUSE

[J Pettis]

Jon,  Is there a better way to code a long pause other than:

PAUSE 60000
PAUSE 60000
PAUSE 60000
PAUSE 60000


Thanks,
Jarrett

There is a more flexible way.  Define a variable, like this:

SYMBOL  idx             = B2

Now you can use that as a control variable in a FOR-NEXT loop:

Long_Delay:
  FOR idx = 1 TO 4
    PAUSE 60000
  NEXT

You can update the end value of the loop to change the length of the delay (in minutes in this example).

Thanks Jon! I figure I m at the point now where I need to start coding better.  :o
