I received a warning when compiling a custom codeunit in 2009- Function YIELD is obsolete. Evidently it does now work in the RTC. Not using the RTC yet, but would like to clean it up if possible. What is the suggested way to handle a long running process in 2009 so it does not hammer all users for the duration?

    I have the definition as:
    YIELD
    Use this function to pass control to the operating system, specifically DOS/Windows 3.x, so it can process events. Once the operating system finishes, you regain control.

    if you're running 2009 your os has great multitasking capabilities that nav shouldn't interfere with.
    Can you tell us how you're using it?

    I am with Harry on this. Any computer capable of running 2009 wont need yeild statements, so just remove it.

    The last time I used that would have been on a 486.
