## Arguments

Name | Comments

thinkTime | The length of the pause, in seconds.

lr_think_time allows you to pause test execution during a run. This is especially useful in simulating think time, the time a real user pauses to think between actions.

When using cross-step downloads or asynchronous functions of any kind, a long think time may cause the download to time out.

## Return Values

No value is returned.

## Parameterization

You cannot use standard parameterization for any arguments in this function.

## Example

In the following segment, lr_think_time instructs the script to pause for 10 seconds after accessing a link and submitting a form.

Copy code

    web_link("1 Book Search:", "Text=1 Book Search:", LAST );
    lr_think_time(10);
    web_submit_form("db2net.exe", ITEMDATA, "name=library.TITLE",
              "value=UNIX", ENDITEM, "name=library.AUTHOR", "value=",
              ENDITEM, LAST );
    lr_think_time(10);
