question about os_yield

| Hello,
I use os_yield to yield time to windows while my clipper application is
waiting for a key input.
What if I don't want to wait for a key input but simply would like to
wait for a certain amount of time ? Is there a way to completely give
away my timeslices for this amount of time ( a harware timer or a
windows timer ? )
Thanks
Andreas

Have you tried looping over a call to OL_Yield() (I take it that was a typo
in the subject?) while waiting for the desired amount of time to expire?
Like:
,----
| Do While SomeCalculationOfExpiredTime()
| OL_Yield()
| EndDo
`----

Hello Dave,
it was a typo.
I solved it with a loop like the loop in your sample and it works.
Thanks
