Details

The XTIME statement specifies how long the local host waits after the 3270 X-clock symbol disappears. The local host waits the specified amount of time before sending input to the remote host or reading output from the remote host. Normally, the 3270 X-clock appears when you send a 3270 AID key to the remote host (for example, the ENTER key) and disappears after the remote host responds. Sometimes the X-clock re-appears when the remote host updates a 3270 screen in a line-mode session; this is most likely to happen while you are signing on. The XTIME statement enables you to specify the minimum time the local host waits after the X-clock disappears in order to reduce keyboard-inhibited problems caused by an unexpected display of the X-clock.

The XTIME statement is not commonly used in scripts. It is not necessary to include XTIME in a script unless you are having problems with the X-clock display.
