PAUSE_WAIT puts a scheduled wait on hold. The wait being paused is identi-
fied by the parameter name. The wait timer stops counting down until it is
resumed with a RESTART_WAIT command. Here's a syntax sample:
PAUSE_WAIT '<name>'
RESTART_WAIT resumes the countdown for a wait suspended with
PAUSE_WAIT. The wait to be restarted is identified by the parameter name.
RESTART_WAIT '<name>'
PAUSE_ALL_WAIT and RESTART_ALL_WAIT commands are used to pause or
restart all scheduled waits, regardless of whether or not they are named. They
have no parameters.
PAUSE_ALL_WAIT
RESTART_ALL_WAIT
CANCEL_WAIT and CANCEL_WAIT_UNTIL removes the wait specified by
name from the appropriate wait list. The syntax:
CANCEL_WAIT '<name>
CANCEL_WAIT_UNTIL '<name>'
CANCEL_ALL_WAIT and CANCEL_ALL_WAIT_UNTIL cancels all waits
(named or unnamed) from the appropriate wait list. The syntax:
CANCEL_ALL_WAIT
CANCEL_ALL_WAIT_UNTIL
References to variables are not allowed within waits (

variables that cease to exist when the block in which they are declared is exited).
Variable copies are made of functions and subroutine parameters. This can have speed/
execution penalties.
