Starting an SCP Process Using the RUN Command
DELETEDELAY time [ HRS | MINS | SECS ]
specifies the interval between the time that the SCP process receives its last 
response from a subsystem and the time that the SCP process closes the subsystem. 
This parameter is optional. Select time from these values:
If you do not specify a time unit, the value is assumed to be expressed in seconds. 
The default value for this parameter is 10 minutes. The minimum acceptable value is 
five minutes. If you specify an interval of less than five minutes (300 seconds), it is 
adjusted to five minutes.
EXCLUSIVE
specifies that only the creator of the SCP process can open it. An open request from 
any other process is rejected.
LOG filename
LOGFILE filename
specifies the log file that the process uses. For important considerations relating to 
log file selection, see Selecting a LOG File on page 2-11.
If you omit this parameter, or if you include it without the filename argument, 
the SCP process does not generate logging output, and emergency output is sent to 
the home terminal.
If you specify * (an asterisk) for filename, logging output is sent to the standard 
output file. See the OUT process option on page 2-4
.
RECEIVEDEPTH depth
specifies the number of entries reserved for incoming messages on the SCP process 
$RECEIVE file.
SEGPAGES pages
specifies additional pages of memory for processing. SEGPAGES is identical to 
DATAPAGES, which is described on page 2-5.
-1 The SCP process keeps the communications subsystem open 
indefinitely.
1…9999 HRS The SCP process closes the subsystem the specified number of 
hours after the last response is received.
5…9999 MINS The SCP process closes the subsystem the specified number of 
minutes after the last response is received.
300…9999 [SECS] The SCP process closes the subsystem the specified number of 
seconds after the last response is received. Seconds is the default 
unit for this parameter.
