If seconds are specified, the computer pauses execution for the length of time specified. The seconds argument must be in the range 0 to 2,147,483.648 seconds. The number is rounded to the nearest millisecond, or to the resolution of the computer clock.
TheWAIT FOR EORstatement waits until an end-of-record event occurs during aTRANSFER. Similarly, theWAIT FOR EOTstatement waits until anyTRANSFERactive on the I/O path is complete. The I/O path must be the I/O path used in theTRANSFERto specify the device. Using the I/O path assigned to the buffer will cause an error. If the I/O path is not involved in an activeTRANSFER, the statement has no effect.
