Time-dependent task synchronization

Time-dependent task synchronization provides the user with three optional services:

1. The EXEC CICS DELAY command allows a task to temporarily suspend itself for a specified period of time. When the time has elapsed, the task resumes execution.
2. The EXEC CICS POST command allows a task to be notified when the specified interval of time has elapsed or the specified time of day occurs. The task proceeds to execute while the time interval is elapsing.
3. The EXEC CICS CANCEL command allows a task to terminate its own or another task’s request for a DELAY, POST or START service.
