Specifies how long VTAM® waits for completion of a multipath channel XID I/O operation after starting a channel program. If this timeout expires, a message is written to inform the operator that a timeout has occurred. After the XID completes, REPLYTO has no meaning.

Specify timeout_value in seconds or seconds and tenths of a second. A value of 3.0 seconds should be adequate, unless the attached adjacent APPN node or Open Systems Adapter port is disabled for long intervals.

For connections to an OSA-Express feature, the REPLYTO parameter only applies to the control channels.
