SLEEP seconds

SLEEP puts the job to sleep for the specified amount of time. Seconds may be fractional, down to a theoretical precision of .0001 seconds. There is no maximum.

The SLEEP statement is exactly equivalent to Xcall SLEEP. However, unlike the subroutine, it requires the /X:1 switch or higher.
