Dave,

I ended up creating several Global Variables tonight to function with my wait commands.

They were: 1MINUTE, 5MINUTES, 10MINUTES, 15MINUTES, 20MINUTES, 30MINUTES, 45MINUTES, 1HOUR, 2HOUR, 4HOUR.

Any way we can make these system variables?

Thank you for your consideration.

Keith,

The way you are doing it now with global variables is the proper way.  What you are doing is essentially creating constants and it would be extremely inefficient to start creating constants than never change as system variables and start incurring a slowdown during the lookup.  With system variables, the lookup and substitution is done via a large case statement.  With global variables, the lookup is done via a separate database server into an indexed table.

Dave.
