The WAIT= parameter and TIMEOUT error trap can be used with INPUT/RINPUT statements to force releasing of records. This feature is useful for multi-user situations.

  • WAIT= specifies the number of seconds the system should wait for operator input before responding with a TIMEOUT error condition.
  • NOTE that WAIT=0 instructs the system to wait for zero seconds, not to ignore the WAIT instruction.
  • Also, -1 is a special WAIT value that instructs the system to wait forever, if necessary. Every time the operator presses any key, the clock is reset for WAIT seconds.
