Queued Requests

RHDCMT00 can process commands such as VARY AREA, but it may queue the action. Thus, a return code of zero does not always indicate that a VARY has occurred. The text returned to the output area denotes the status of the request. You can recheck the status of the request by including a SET TIMER POST or SET TIMER WAIT (#SETIME TYPE=POST or #SETTIME TYPE=WAIT in Assembler) statement in your program. After the interval has expired, you can reissue the VARY or issue a DISPLAY statement and check the returned text to determine the status of the request.
