# Wait For command

#### Syntax

    WAIT FOR Identifier

#### Description

Displays the results of a previously started asynchronous command.

The identifier for the asynchronous command must have been used in a previous Async command on this connection. The Wait For command waits for the SQL statement to complete execution, if it has not already, and then displays the results. If the statement returns a result set, the Wait For command steps through the rows, not the Async command. This might result in further execution time passing during the result display.

#### Example

See Async command.
