Purpose
Using the MODIFY IOPD command, you can change the I/O problem determination (IOPD) time-out interval. This interval determines how long certain VTAM® I/O operations or internal procedures can remain pending before VTAM reports them to the operator. You can then decide whether a problem exists and what action, if any, is warranted.
See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures for guidance on setting the I/O problem determination time-out interval.
Note: You can use the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command (IOINT
operand) to perform the same function as this command.
Operands
- procname
- The procedure name for the command. If procname in
the START command was specified as startname.ident,
where startname is the VTAM start procedure and ident is
the optional identifier, either startname.ident or ident
can be specified for procname.
If procname in the START command was startname, startname must be specified for procname.
- IOINT=number_of_seconds
- Specifies the time-out interval (in seconds) for the I/O problem determination function. The value must be a decimal integer 0–5366000. IOINT=0 specifies that the I/O problem determination function is to be deactivated, meaning that VTAM will not notify the operator of pending I/O operations or internal procedures. IOINT is rounded up to the nearest 60-second multiple.
