What |
Adds user‑provided event to CLIv2‘s internal wait list |
|
|
Why |

|
DBCHUEC |
What |
A deprecated routine now replaced by DBCHUE. |

What |
Waits for event to occur (an event refers to the arrival of some response from the Teradata Database) If DBCHUE has been invoked, an event also refers to the occurrence of some application‑defined event |
|
Why |
To provide a mechanism for explicit waits for events; also simplifies handling of concurrent sessions |
