    hello,

    I currently am doing something that i need a for loop with a 2 function block named LinuxSysCallAsync and WriteCSVData_Linear and when i do it the functions block don't have time to finish executing their code and i don't know how to do it here an example :

    FOR i := 1 TO 5 BY 1 DO
    cmd_LinuxSysCallAsync(xExecute:=TRUE,sCommand('touch txt.txt')
    if cmd_LinuxSysCallAsync.xDone = TRUE THEN
    do something
    end_if
    END_FOR
    and it cannot by done

    Can someone help me
    Cordially

    if the IF condition is not satisfied, it's simply skipped and the FOR loop continues with the next iteration. So you call cmd_LinuxSysCallAsync() in 5 successive scans.
    Try to do in steps with a CASE, e.g.

    CASE x OF
    10: 
        count := 0;
        x := 20;
    
    20:
        cmd_LinuxSysCallAsync(xExecute:=TRUE,sCommand('touch txt.txt');
        x := 30;
    
    30: 
        if cmd_LinuxSysCallAsync.xDone = TRUE THEN
            do_something();
            count := count + 1;
            if count >= 5 then 
                x := 40;//exit
            else
                x := 20;
            end_if;
        end_if;
    
        40://end
        ;
    
    END_CASE;
