Syntax: Sleep lead-time

Parameters:

lead-time: Integer expression giving the lead time before the restart of the process execution.

Example: I was just writing a program which validates the invoice and creates the payment. After executing the invoice validation code invoice is not available immediately to process the payment. It requires some time to post the GL entries. I was just looking for the command which will halt the process in between invoice validation and payment creation. After some search I have found the sleep command.

Refer to the below snippet of code for the better clarification.
