IDLELOCK

Description

Specifies the interval since the last input was received from the terminal, after which the 'lock' internal session is activated.

This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).

Format

IDLELOCK minutes [DIRECTION IN|INOUT]

Default: IDLELOCK 0 DIRECTION IN

Usage and subparameter

Specify a value in the range 0-1440 for minutes. 0 means that the timer-based 'lock' function is not used.

DIRECTION IN|INOUT

This optional subparameter controls whether (activity on) input alone, or on both input and output datastreams will inhibit a timeout. If DIRECTION IN is in effect then the interval counter is not reset by screen updating.

Note: When updated, this option comes into effect at the next terminal enter.
