Hello!
I would like to use the "sleep" command in Eviews.
For example, look at the the following code:

!sleeptime = 0.1
tic
sleep(sleeptime)
scalar elapsed_t = @toc
toc

where elapsed_t = 5, i.e. 5 seconds.
The following code gives similar result:

!sleeptime = 10000
tic
sleep(sleeptime)
scalar elapsed_t = @toc
toc

Why?

As per the Command Reference, the syntax for the sleep command is:


sleep !n

Where !n is the number of milliseconds you wish EViews to pause for.

Thanks a lot, it works. But I used to read "Help" (Eviews 7 Help), where the syntax for the sleep command is:

sleep(n)

How work with "sleep" command in Eviews?
