1.4.47 sleep: Suspend Execution for an Interval

The subroutine is called by:

call sleep( itime )

itime

INTEGER*4

Input 

Number of seconds to sleep 

The actual time can be up to 1 second less than itime due to granularity in system timekeeping.

Example: sleep():


       INTEGER*4 time / 5 /
       write(*,*) ’Start’
       call sleep( time )
       write(*,*) ’End’
       end
