Hi Ron

I once messed with this value to stop pesky developers from running queries interactively ;)

My advice would be not to set it system wise; this would affect every query on the system including OPNQRYF queries in my original experimentation and probably SQL these days. It's been a while so you may want to see if this is still true but obviously tread warily as it could have quite an impact.

What I used it for was to limit access to interactive query and simply prevented queries running. If the query optimizer determined that the query would take longer than the time limit it issued a message offering the opportunity to cancel or continue. This was obviously not ideal in batch jobs :) I overrode the message with a message reply to cancel the operation. Couldn't be monitored as I recall but things may have changed and I am no message guru anyway.

I guess how you set this value depends on what you want to achieve so I don't think I can offer you any other advice.

Regards
Evan Harris

Does anybody have a System Value set other than *NOMAX?  If so, what did
you set it to?

What is the general consensus on setting this value, job-wise, and-or
system-wise?
