Auto-Restore Delayed by Merge

Use SYSPARM MERRELTMnn, where DMSAR can be delayed by a Merge job. Specify Merge release time MERRELTM of 01 to 99 minutes (default is 00) to be used in both Merge and DMSAR. During Merge, if MERRELTM is non-zero and there is room on the current volume for the next Archvol, the time interval since the last output volume swap is compared to MERRELTM. If that time interval is greater than or equal to MERRELTM, a test ENQ for DMSWVOLS is issued for that volume. If DMSAR has been waiting with a DMSWVOLS ENQ for that volume, the volume is released by Merge. DMSAR only issues the DMSWVOLS ENQ if MERRELTM is non-zero; the actual value of MERRELTM is picked up in Merge. Tuning can be done within Merge with MERRELTM from 01 to 99 minutes, depending on individual needs.
