CDELAY
CDELAY= contention-delay
specifies the period in seconds for which NonStop NET/MASTER MS waits before
sending output to an OCS window if a user is entering input from the keyboard.
The default is 15 seconds. You can specify a value from 0 through 300 seconds.
Consideration
OCS windows may receive solicited and unsolicited output at any time. If output is
available while a user is entering input, a contention condition exists. The window
normally does not accept output until the input is complete. NonStop NET/MASTER
MS breaks this contention condition if it continues for more than the value specified by
this operand. The output is then forced to the window. Forcing the output to the
window interrupts keyboard input and prevents further input until all output is
displayed.
Example
The following example sets the contention delay to 20 seconds:
