sleep-descriptor (optional)

A sleep-descriptor causes the transaction to pause for a specified number of seconds. You can use a sleep-descriptorto 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-descriptoris placed after a key-descriptorto 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-descriptorinput. The total value of the sleep-descriptorand 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-descriptorfollows the syntax shown in Figure 2-15.
