Status: Unverified
SYMPTOM(s):
PAUSE statement ignored in a loop
PAUSE is ignored when CURRENT-WINDOW has no STATUS-AREA
Pause has no effect
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 7.x
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
Bug# OE00192927
CAUSE:
The window that is in focus when a PAUSE statement is issued must have a STATUS-AREA in order for the PAUSE statement to be effective because the statement produces a status message.
FIX:
If a STATUS-AREA is not desirable then use one of the following options:
- add NO-MESSAGE option to the PAUSE statement:
PAUSE 1 NO-MESSAGE.
- call the Windows SLEEP function as demonstrated below:
RUN sleep ( 1000 ). /* time is in milliseconds- 1000 = 1 second */PROCEDURE Sleep EXTERNAL "KERNEL32":
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER lMilliseconds AS LONG NO-UNDO.
END PROCEDURE.
