Specifies the desired duration for the Monitor I session in minutes (M) or hours (H). The valid range is from a minimum of one minute to a maximum of one week (168 hours or 10,080 minutes). If you do not specify a value, the default range is 8 hours. If you specify less than one minute, RMF™ will increase the value to one minute; if you specify more than 168 hours, RMF will decrease the value to 168 hours. If neither M nor H is specified, M (minutes) is assumed. NOSTOP means that the session can be ended only by a STOP command. Note that the STOP option applies only to the session. RMF remains active until the operator issues a STOP system command.

The operator STOP command can end all the sessions at any time, regardless of the value specified for this option, provided that a session identifier was specified or assigned automatically when the session was started.

Because of SYSOUT space limitations, STOP (interval) will be forced when both NOSTOP and REPORT(DEFER) are specified, where interval is the value of the INTERVAL option after it has been validated during input merge.
