This script element can be used to wait for an event that has been triggered in SAP. This could be a system event, an event that has been predefined in SAP, or a user event. You can specify any content of your choice for the string that is used as the event parameter. Note that the script element waits for the event for an indefinite time if you define zero seconds for the timeout period.

Script processing continues when the event occurs.
