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

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
    set runclear off
endif
