The menu command, when invoked during the recording of a macro, displays the Insert Wait dialog box, which allows you to specify conditions to check before proceeding to the next macro statement. The following wait condition options are available:
Wait for n Seconds
When this option is selected, the number specified by n
determines the number of seconds the function waits before proceeding.
This option corresponds to the Wait
function.
Wait for X-inhibited condition to go
away
When this option is selected, the macro will wait until the X
System or other X indicator
has been removed from the OIA Status
Line before proceeding with the execution of the macro. This option
corresponds to the WaitForNoX
function.
Wait for text string
When this option is selected, the macro will wait until the specified text
is entered (it is not case sensitive) at the specified row and column
before proceeding with the execution of the macro. This option corresponds
to the WaitForString function.
Wait for the cursor to be positioned
When this option is selected, the macro will wait until the cursor is positioned
at the specified row and column before proceeding with the execution of
the macro. This option corresponds to the WaitForCursorPos
function.
Time out for n Seconds
This time-out value specifies the number of seconds the macro will wait
for the condition to be fulfilled before it proceeds accordingly.
