Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds and thousandths of seconds, that VTAM® waits before transmitting low-priority data (path information unit (PIU) transmission priority 0 or 1) to the physical unit.

For more efficient operation, code this value as high as possible. For maximum speed across the interface, set this value to 0. See the description of the DELAY operand in a channel-to-channel-attached host processor in the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for more information.
