MaxFileWaitTime

Valid for: SetStartup

Syntax -

       SetStartup MaxFileWaitTime <WaitMinutes>

               Where:

                       <WaitMinutes> is a numeric value.

Description:

This option defines the number of minutes that EMUE is to wait for an input file to become available before issuing an error and terminating.  This option values the Max File Wait Time number selector on the Misc. tab of the EMUE Current Settings - Option Settings dialog. If zero is used for the maximum wait time, EMUE will wait for the file indefinitely.

Note: This option does nothing unless WaitForInputFile is set.  If the value for WaitForInputFile is set, but MaxFileWaitTime is not set, EMUE will wait indefinitely.

Note: If WaitAgain is set to Yes, the maximum wait time is reset after each file it processes.

Note: EMUE treats the expiration of the defined time as if it had processed an ExitError command.

Sample:

       The following example will cause EMUE to wait up to 2 hours for a file to become available before stopping with an error.

SetStartup MaxFileWaitTime 120.
