The WAIT statement causes the LDMAMS utility to wait until an application on a remote system becomes active.

Syntax

WAIT [[APPL(name1)] [LIMIT(minutes)] [QUAL(name2)]]

Operand	Explanation
APPL	Represents the primary ID of the test application that will receive data. This ID must match the primary ID of the receiving application, which is specified on the COMMTEST statement that creates the application. Default Value: Name of the current LDMAMS job or previous value. See the Notes section.
LIMIT	Represents the number of minutes that the test application should wait. If the receiving application is not running by then, the sending application will end. Default Value: 60 or previous value. See the Notes section.
QUAL	Represents the secondary ID of the test application that will receive data. This ID must match the secondary ID of the receiving application, which is on the COMMTEST statement that creates the application. Default Value: COMMTEST or previous value. See the Notes section.

Operand

Explanation

APPL

Represents the primary ID of the test application that will receive data. This ID must match the primary ID of the receiving application, which is specified on the COMMTEST statement that creates the application.

Default Value: Name of the current LDMAMS job or previous value. See the Notes section.

LIMIT

Represents the number of minutes that the test application should wait. If the receiving application is not running by then, the sending application will end.

Default Value: 60 or previous value. See the Notes section.

QUAL

Represents the secondary ID of the test application that will receive data. This ID must match the secondary ID of the receiving application, which is on the COMMTEST statement that creates the application.

Default Value: COMMTEST or previous value. See the Notes section.

Notes:

You can specify this statement only as input to the LDMAMS utility.
The WAIT statement should precede any SEND statements in the LDMAMS JCL.
The values for the COUNT and LIMIT parameters may be set in a previous WAIT statement. If these parameters are not specified in the WAIT statement, the default is the most recent value established within a COMMTEST application.

Example

To wait until application TESTAPP SYS2 is active before sending test data, specify this statement as input to your LDMAMS job:

WAIT APPL(TESTAPP) QUAL(SYS2)
