<p>I have pushed a new NetRexx Pipeline stage and tests: DELAY. It
is an upwardly compatible version with CMS.</p>
<blockquote>

<ul>
<li>(1) Arguments are NetRexx Pipelines only, not CMS. CMS (and
NetRexx when there is no argument) reads delays as the first
word of each record. <br>
When arguments are present, they follow the CMS conventions
for the delay time in records. The + indicates a duration, no
+ means time of day. The objects do NOT have the delay as the
first word. <br>
Clock hours are 24h, so 2pm is 14, and are for the next 24
hours if before "now." <br>
Seconds can have decimal point and milliseconds. <br>
In relative times, the number of seconds and minutes are not
limited to 60; so 120 seconds is the same as 2 minutes.</li>
<li>(2) Used only for "relative time." EACH, the default, delays
before each object; ONCE delays only the first object.</li>
<li>Uses Java's Thread.sleep() method and may not be exact in
fractional seconds.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<div>
<div class="p-note">When in the records, the time must be a single
word. As arguments, it is tolerant of spaces.</div>
<div class="p-note"><br>
</div>
<div class="p-note">The submitted tests include only "relative
times" not clock times, and do not test for the actual time of
delay.<br>
</div>
</div>
<p>This will be used in some stage tests, where NetRexx's
multi-streaming can cause race conditions.</p>
