Expiration of the wait time

In all of the previously mentioned error situations, all specified jobs remain in the MAREN queue, waiting for recovery of the error. A lifetime monitor is provided to avoid endless wait times, in particular in interactive mode with following consequences:

• Interactive tasks receive an appropriate message after the set interactive wait time, for example 3 minutes, has expired:

  • In procedure mode, the request is rejected.

  • In interactive mode the user receives a query message to which he/she can respond.

• In the case of batch tasks, console message MAR0085 appears after the set wait time, has expired; there are three possible ways of responding to this message:

  tsn.0	EXIT (error exit) The current program branches via the EXLST output or the current job branches to the next STEP command.
  tsn.1 tsn.2	RETRY (repeated attempt) CONTINUE (continue processing without MAREN)

  If the error affects a MAREN processing situation which does not permit abortion, console message MAR0086 appears, which only permits the two responses tsn.1 (RETRY) and tsn.2 (CONTINUE).

  The only way to ensure that processing is not continued is to abort the batch job using the command CANCEL-JOB.

  When the cause of the problem has been corrected, the query is withdrawn within 1 minute, the request is repeated and the batch process continues to operate normally.
