Timeouts for RJE 2780/3780 Emulator 

This section describes the emulator timeouts.

Receive Timeout           Default is 20 seconds.

                          This timeout is set when the ACK is sent to the
                          remote.  Additional communications are expected
                          from the remote in the form of text, EOT or
                          TTD. In case of a timeout a batch job aborts.

                               {local} <------ text {remote}    Insure host sends TTD
                                       ------> ACK               or change timeouts.

                                         |      Receive timeout <= 20 seconds.

                                       <------ text, TTD, or EOT

Local Timeout             Default is 60 seconds.

                          This timeout serves to make effective use of
                          the line by timing between requests to the
                          driver.  In a job when this timeout expires the
                          job will abort.  This is the time from the
                          completion of a CS intrinsic until the receipt
                          of the next CS intrinsic call, such as
                          CCONTROL, CREAD, or CWRITE.

Connect Timeout:          The connect timeout is the interval until the
                          Data Set Ready signal is provided indicating
                          the communications link is established.  In a
                          session, if CONNECT=ANSWER this timeout is
                          disabled.

Response Timeout          This is used for line bids, response to control
                          characters and response to text.

                          The response timeout is chosen when configuring
                          the local mode.  A primary contention response
                          is 2 seconds; a secondary is 3 seconds.  For
                          example, if the response from the remote is not
                          received within the allowable time period, the
                          local station sends an ENQ and waits.  This is
                          repeated until a response is received or the
                          number of retries is exhausted.  This timeout
                          is used to resolve ENQ-ENQ contention
                          conflicts.

Linebid Timeout           Used in the RJOUT, RJLIST, and RJPUNCH
                          subsystem commands.

                          The WAIT=m,s parameter can be specified.  It
                          applies to each data set specified in the count 
                          field.  This timeout establishes the maximum
                          amount of time to wait for the remote computer
                          to bid for the line.  If the timeout is
                          exceeded, the command completes and the next
                          command executes.

Carriage Control IBM 2780/3780 

A two character escape sequence, the first two characters of a record,
are the carriage control for a line printer.

These channels must be configured on the line printer to be functional.

The carriage action required by the escape character sequence is only
executed once a NL (new line) or IRS (inter-record separator) character
has been received and has caused a print cycle.

Component Selection 

Provides automatic routing between list and punch output files.

The component selection character must be the first text character of the
first block of text following an ENQ and ACK0, or the first block of a
conversational reply, or the first block following an ETX block.
