No other jobs may be executed in this partition while the original program is suspended. <br /> <br /> '''Application note:''' The WAKEUP statement does not require system resources and is preferred over other processing suspension methods, such as repetitive looping. <br /> <br /> '''History<br /> :''' Starting with Comet version 504.211, the target time and current time are written to the system buffer (#) on the exit from a WAKEUP. This was added primarily as an internal debugging tool, but please note that the contents of the system buffer contain this data when the WAKEUP statement is executed. <br /> <br /> '''Example:''' <br /> LENGTH 2 &amp; LOCAL FLAG$<br /> .<br /> CLEAR<br /> .<br /> WAKEUP &quot;21:30:00&quot;<br /> .<br /> .<br /> .<br /> <br /> In the above example, the program will suspend processing as soon as it encounters the WAKEUP statement. The program will resume processing at 9:30 p.m.</div>
