System Wait

The maximum number of seconds to wait for the conversion process before returning an error message.

  • Defined by global: #OOFPDF1.SYS-WAIT
  • Required or optional: Optional
  • Maximum size: 2.0
  • Default value: 30.0

REMARKS

After the report is passed to the .pdf driver, approximately every second the system will attempt to open the .pdf file. If the file exists it will terminate the wait logic. If it does not exist, it will repeat the wait logic until it has reached SYS-WAIT iterations.

The default value is 30.0. The wait value can be changed at run time by changing the value for #OOFPDF1.SYS-WAIT. For example:

FORMAT INCLUDE #OOFPDF1,OPT=“NONE;

#OOFPDF1.SYS-WAIT = 99.0
