TASKID
The resumeaftertask statement resumes after a waitfortask statement.
Parameters
This statement has one parameter:
taskid – the ID of the task to wait for (either a timer or a urltask().
Description
This statement resumes after a waitfortask statement. See the waitfortask documentation to learn how to use this statement.
