DELAY – Post update delay specification

Specifies a number of seconds to pause after issuing any update command to the HCL Workload Automation for Z PIF (default 0).

This is specifically to reduce the impact mass updates may have locking out other users by providing gaps in processing. The command and return code are not reported in the output until the delay has completed.

If you are using your own module to provide the WAIT functionality, you can specify the delay as a second argument in the parameter format for your WAIT module, such as DELAY(5,00000500). The first argument is still required for messages.
