I'm not sure about the RCX, but with some languages, things like events, or
other tasks, will not start executing until the current task gives up the
processor.  (like in a wait)

Here's a suggestion that should avoid the delay...

program 3T{

          set scandone = 1 // scandone variable is watched by an event
                           // when event fires scan task stops
      }

     If B = 0 {
        //repeat same steps for B location
     }
   }
}
