Use this record-level keyword to specify an interval of time for your program to wait before performing some specified function. To set the timer, your program issues an output operation with the TIMER keyword in effect.
The format of the keyword is:
TIMER(HHMMSS | &field-name);
The following keywords cannot be specified with TIMER:
ALWWRT CANCEL CNLINVITE CONFIRM CTLDTA DETACH DFREVOKE EOS |
ENDGRP EVOKE FAIL FMH FMTNAME FRCDTA INVITE NEGRSP |
RCVCONFIRM RCVCANCEL RCVCTLDTA RCVDETACH RCVENDGRP RCVFAIL RCVFMH RCVNEGRSP |
RCVTRNRND RECID RQSWRT SECURITY SUBDEV SYNLVL VARBUFMGT VARLEN |
TIMER overrides the WAITRCD parameter on the Create ICF File (CRTICFF), Change ICF File (CHGICFF), and Override ICF File (OVRICFF) commands. The WAITRCD parameter value is ignored during the interval that the timer function is in effect.
Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.
