That's why they added F$DELTA_TIME. Thanks, but even there, there is a bit of an inconsistency... $ curtime = f$time() $ delta = f$delta_time(curtime, f$time()) $ show symbol delta DELTA = " 0 00:00:15.30" $ wait &delta %DCL-W-IVDTIME, invalid delta time - use DDDD-HH:MM:SS.CC format \0 &DELTA\ $ wait 'delta' $ I figured that the & would have been safer since it would tranfer the actual value to the function instead of putting the value on the command line which would have given it 2 DCL arguments. ------------------------------ End of INFO-VAX 2008.404 ************************
