Anyone who knows maximum time for wait in both NetLinx and Access?

Cheer,

    In Netlinx I am doing 24 hours, that's 864'000 1/10 of seconds... I'd say the wait time is a LONG, the same data type returned bu GET_TIMER.
    The max value of a long is 4,294,967,295 or about 13 years...

    That's one heck of a WAIT :)

    If you are on NetLinx Systems, you should definitively use Timeline :) It's a lot more efficient and accurate than Wait, and it's really not difficult to use.

    Would be a shame to CANCEL_WAIT after 12 years, 11 months...

    Vinc?n, do you get a dollar from AMX everytime you advocate TIMELINEs on the forum :-)

    TIMELINES for sure use LONGs and are in millisecond, so the max wait time there is shorter: only 49 days...

    Really guys these are just random thoughts and fun calculations, do not plan your next project on my values unless some AMX guy chimes in with the correct model...
