Platforms

z/VM, Windows


Abstract

Defines the number of seconds LISTSERV will try to open a file which is locked by an external process.


Example

z/VM:

FIOC_INUSE_RETRY = 15

Unix:

(not supported)

Windows:

FIOC_INUSE_RETRY=15


Details

Sometimes LISTSERV may try to open a file (such as a list file) while that file is locked by an external process (for instance, a nightly backup program). If the open attempt times out, an error is generated.

This functionality is not available on unix because file locking is not implemented.


Default Value

10
