Rule: HPRSTALL is meaningful only if VTAM® provides RTP-level HPR support. At a minimum, the NODETYPE start option must also be coded and the RTP parameter must be specified on the HPR start option.

Specifies the amount of time that an RTP pipe can remain continuously stalled before VTAM stops it.

An RTP pipe stalls when the partner RTP requests retransmission of at least one network layer packet (NLP), but the request cannot be honored. A stall also occurs when the partner RTP repeatedly requests transmission of the same NLP. When both conditions are in effect simultaneously, each stall is timed separately.

You must specify the time in full seconds, in the range 30 - 3600. If you omit HPRSTALL or specify 0, VTAM does not automatically stop stalled RTP pipes.

You can change the HPRSTALL value with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM is running. For RTP pipes that are already stalled when the option is modified, the time is measured from when the stall began, not from when you issued the command.
