The system wait time represents a unit of time which the application will wait while the external program is executing. If there is no response within this time, the application may assume that the external program has stopped for some reason. This may not be the case - it may just be working hard!
You will be asked whether they want to wait for another unit period. This variable is nominally measured in seconds, but it is also dependent on how busy the computer is on other tasks as well.
-- Set wait time
!!bocWaitTime = ( 5 )
!!bocNoOfTries = ( 5 )
There is also a variable, !!bocNoOfTries, which is used to determine how many iterations of the waiting loop the application goes through before prompting you for further information.
