Specific Control Options › CPFWAIT—WAIT Keyword Default

CPFWAIT—WAIT Keyword Default

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

The CPFWAIT control option sets a default value for the TSS command WAIT keyword.

At least one of the CPF‑related control options must be entered at CA Top Secret startup to use the CPF. Otherwise, CPF deactivates until the next CA Top Secret startup and CA Top Secret rejects CPF control options until that time.

If any of the following conditions exist, you cannot view the output generated as the result of the CPFWAIT command:

• The CPF journal file has not been specified.
• WAIT(NO) is specified on the TSS command.
• The CPFWAIT control option is set to NO.

The CPF recovery file is used when defined and when CPFWAIT(NO) or WAIT(NO) is specified.

All entry methods are accepted.

This control option has the following format:

CPFWAIT(YES|NO)

YES

(Default) Specifies a default value for the TSS command WAIT keyword.

NO

Specifies that no waiting occurs for messages.

The WAIT value on an individual TSS command can override the values that are entered.
