System.Sleep() Error - Could not find thread

I tried to let the thread to sleep for a few seconds to test something in Livelink Builder but just never get this System.Sleep() method to work as descriped.

If this method never works, what are the alternative ways to let running thread to sleep for a few seconds like Windows sleep method.

Thanks

John

I had a need for this once and ran into a similar problem. Ultimately, I leveraged the fact that OScript can easily use Java leveraged Java's Thread to implement a proper sleep method.

function Sleep(Integer duration)  Dynamic result = JavaObject.InvokeStaticMethod ( \      "java.lang.Thread", "sleep", {duration} )  if (IsError(result))    echo("Sleep failed! Reason: ", result)  endend

Note, if you want JavaObject to be functional while running Builder, you have to add the -loadjvm option to the Builder shortcut launcher. To do this...

Right click on the Builder shortcut
Choose properties
Add -loadjvm to the target

Thanks Ossie for your replies.

Look like this method is not functioning an dno one is using this function so it should be removed from OScript help.
