iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

(F)CIM...! :mrgreen: (Read my Sig...)

Not difficult to test, you can simply try yourself "if it works"... :idea:

I think I had already done "the Test" and posted the Limit in some earlier Thread, dunno..., maybe 1 or 2 years ago..., but I can't locate that Thread anymore, and I don't remember if I was using 'WAIT' or '!TIMEOUT_STEP'..., but from some quick Testing, the Limit seems to be around:

Code: Select all

'Still working:
WAIT SECONDS=900710000000000
'>
'Doesn't work anymore:
WAIT SECONDS=900720000000000
(Tested on iMacros for FF v8.8.2, Pale Moon v26.3.3 (=FF47), Win10_x64.)

=> That Number is much higher than your "10000", ah-ah...!
And anyway, even if you put a Number higher than the Limit, your Script will still hang, without the Timer decreasing, which is still a way for the Script to "wait", ah-ah...!

=> 900710000000000 = 900,710,000,000,000 => about 900 x10^12 = 0.9x10^15.
That Limit might be different depending on iMacros Version + Browser Version + OS...

@OP, care to share/explain why you would need your Macro to wait for such a long time...!? :?
Hum..., 10,000 sec is "only" about 2.78 hours actually... :wink:
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
