Re: New to HMC- having timeout issue

[Bruce Hoffman <bruce.hoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the issue of running from the console... check out the parameters 
ENDSBSOPT and BCHTIMLMT on the ENDSBS command.

They can be used to issue saves and restores in a restricted state 
without the need for a console.
