Description

Deprecated as of V7.5.

Use the wait keyword to test whether conditions become valid or remain true during a specified waiting period. The until keyword indicates that the expression specifies an absolute time by which the wait statement must succeed. If you do not use the until keyword, the expression specifies a relative time, that is, a specific duration as the waiting period. The expression must return an integer value.
