Specifies the interval, in minutes, since the last input was received from the terminal after which the session is to be terminated.
This common session parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement), and APPL (see APPL statement).
SIDLTime minutes [DIRECTION IN|INOUT]
Default: SIDLTIME 0 DIRECTION IN
minutes may be any value in the range 0-1440 minutes. If 0 is specified (the default) no timeout occurs.
When the session is timed out, normal session-end processing is performed, including execution of an ENDSCRIPT (if one is defined for the session).
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.
