value)

specifies the interval, in milliseconds, for which CICS
releases control to the operating system if no
transactions are ready to resume processing. This
interval is known as the ‘region exit interval’.

It can have a value in the range 100–3600000, and must
be greater than or equal to the SCANDELAY value.

In the summary report of the dispatcher statistics, TIME
is referred to as ICV.

The CICS-generated task number. This is in the range
1–99999.

All Any changes you request are made to all resources of

the specified type that you are authorized to access.

FOrcepurge

The task is terminated immediately. System integrity is
not guaranteed. In some extreme cases, for example if a
task is forcepurged during backout processing, CICS
terminates abnormally. If you want to terminate a task
but do not want to terminate CICS, you should use
PURGE instead of FORCEPURGE.

PRiority(

value)

specifies the priority of the task, in the range 0–255
where 255 is the highest priority.

PUrge

The task is terminated. Task termination occurs only
when system and data integrity can be maintained.
