==Description==
The SET RUNWAIT command controls whether a wait message is displayed after execution of a RUN / ! / !! Command or RUN() function.  By default SET RUNWAIT is OFF.

This command allows the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated.  If a value of .T. is returned, RUNWAIT is set ON, otherwise it is set OFF.


==Example==
<code lang="recital">
dialog message [Backup data tables to tape?]
if chr(lastkey()) = [Y]
    set runclear on
    set runwait on
    run tar cvf /dev/rmt0 *.db*
    set runwait off
