RE: Inactive Time Out

["blackandblue" <blackandblue@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found that the System Value inactivity is a problem if you wish to
have different jobs treated with different time intervals. For instance you
may want QSECOFR to be locked after 5 minutes, QSYSOPR after an hour, and
Credit Control after 30 mins...
With QINACTITV you have to add up the 5 minute blocks to see if 30 minutes
has been reached - remembering to set it back to zero if you _don't_ get a
message in a 6 minute period.

(already 163 pages)
