I saw this question online and I have the same question. Does anyone have an answer?

"
    I have read the documentation regarding the use of this function but I
have one further question. The Description for this function states:

Sets the number of milliseconds that a PowerBuilder client waits before
canceling an OLE procedure call to the server.

Does this mean actually calling a procedure say write_some_transaction and
waiting for it to connect or actually connecting and waiting for the
procedure to complete.

For example:
rs = myoleobject.SetAutomationTimeOut(1000)
commit_it = myoleobject.write_trans(ll_genid, command_2)

Does SetAutomationTimeOut() wait 1 second for the connection or 1 second for
the whole procedure to complete?
