WAIT UP TO <milliseconds> in ABAP

Question

According to ABAP Documentation, the command WAIT UP TO x SECONDS needs an operand of type i. However, I'd like to WAIT UP TO x Milliseconds or something similar. Neither official documentation nor several other forum posts have been helpful thus far.

Is there any way to specify a wait for a fraction of a second?

Answer 1

You can simply pass a decimal value like:

WAIT UP TO '0.5' SECONDS

or something like:

WAIT UP TO '0.01' SECONDS
