TIMER(min,max)

Controls the threshold values for time-driven database updating. The database control subtask waits between updates for a duration somewhere between the minimum and maximum values, depending on overall system load. Values entered are in 1/100-second increments; permissible range for this command is from 1 (for a value of .01 second) to 9999 (for a value of 99.99 second). The default is 500,6000.

Note: A value that is too low causes extra overhead in the database control subtask. A maximum value that is too large may result in high virtual storage utilization.
