ALTER Command
If you do not assign a value to this field, the default is OFF.
ZDYN
refers to dynamic terminals. The following values are valid:
•
ON: Dynamic terminals can be created.
•
OFF: All terminals must be preconfigured using the ADD TERM command. 
If you do not assign a value to this field, the default is ON.
ZDYN-NOWAIT-DEPTH
is the nowait depth for dynamic terminals. Valid values are in the range from 1 
through 15. If you do not assign a value to this field, the default is 1.
ZIOCB-WAIT-TIME
specifies the maximum time, in one-hundredth of a second units, a task waits 
for an I/O control block to become available. Valid values are in the range from 
0 through 6000. If you do not assign a value to this field, the default is 1000 (10 
seconds).
ZLOOP-TIME
specifies the maximum time, in one-hundredth of a second units, a task can 
run without giving up control. The value of this field is passed to the operating 
system procedure LOOPTIMER when GDSX dispatches a task. Valid values 
are in the range from 0 to 32767. If ZLOOP-TIME is zero, GDSX does not call 
LOOPTIMER. If you do not assign a value to this field, the default is 200 (2 
seconds).
ZSECUR
determines who may execute the ALTER command. The following values are 
valid (these are the same as the SECURITY attribute values):
•
O: Only the owner may alter the process. The owner must run SPI on the 
node from which the GDSX process was created.
•
G: Any member of the owner’s group may alter the process, provided that 
the member runs SPI on the node from which the GDSX process was 
created.
•
A: Any user may alter the process, provided that the user runs SPI on the 
node from which the GDSX process was created.
•
-: Only SUPER.SUPER ID on the GDSX process’ node can alter a GDSX

process.
