Delay
This element causes a program that is running to pause for a while. You set the length of the pause
using the element properties.
Use the hours, minutes, and seconds controls to set the hours, minutes, and seconds of delay. If
you choose the second option, then HCA computes a different delay each time the element is
executed.
Hint: Even if you choose an exact delay time, your program may not continue precisely after the
delay time you set. But it should continue within a few seconds of the time you specified.
Note that this is the only place in HCA where you enter a time to the second.
Exit
When a running program executes this element, the program ends. The Exit element has no
properties.
You may want to use this element in conjunction with the
Test and Repeat elements (described
later).
Each path of a program does not need to end in an exit element.
