There is nothing special about getmsg; the time parameter can be any expression that evaluates to a positive number.
Note: specifying the CART in hexadecimal is certainly valid, but it makes the code harder to read. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Nobuhiko Furuya <furu...@v-sol.co.jp> Sent: Monday, August 15, 2022 9:54 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: How to set time parameter in TSO/E REXX getmsg function Hi all, Can we set variable time parameter in TSO/E REXX getmsg function ? We would like to specify wait time value from argue. But getmsg seems to accept only specific numeric seconds as follows. msgrett = getmsg(’dmsg’,’sol’,’C1D7D7D3F2F9F6F8’X,,60) time the amount of time, in seconds, that GETMSG should wait, if the requested message has not yet been routed to the user's console. If you specify a time value and the time expires before the message is routed to the user's console, GETMSG does not retrieve the message. Otherwise, if the message is available before the time expires, GETMSG retrieves the message. If you do not specify time, GETMSG uses a time value of 0 seconds. If the message has not been routed to the user's console, GETMSG does not retrieve the message.
