As long as you're only interested in pausing for an integral number of
seconds, you can call the C/POSIX sleep function instead of PAUSE.

E.g.

CALL "sleep" USING \5\
or
CALL "sleep" USING \PAUSE-TIME\
---------------------------------------------------------------
Or you can call the COMMAND or HPCICOMMAND intrinsic passing "PAUSE 5".
