RETRY n;

Syntax Description

n
is an integer that specifies the number of re-tries. The default value is 5.

Details

The RETRY statement specifies how many attempts the local host makes to re-send a packet to the remote host when an error occurs. Typically, the remote host waits as long as the local host tries to re-send, or there may be a host-dependent number of re-tries. Setting a limit on re-tries with the RETRY statement can prevent excessive line charges when communication problems occur.
