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 are entered in 1/100-second increments. The permissible range for this command is from 1 (for a value of 0.01 second) to 9999 (for a value of 99.99 seconds). 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 can result in high virtual storage utilization.
