ReceiveTimeoutType (MQLONG)

This is the qualifier, applied to ReceiveTimeout to define how long a TCP/IP channel waits to receive data, including heartbeats, from its partner, before returning to the inactive state. It applies only to message channels, not to MQI channels.

The value is one of the following:
MQRCVTIME_MULTIPLY
ReceiveTimeout is a multiplier to apply to the negotiated HBINT value to determine how long a channel waits. This is the default value.
MQRCVTIME_ADD
ReceiveTimeout is a value, in seconds, to add to the negotiated HBINT value to determine how long a channel waits.
MQRCVTIME_EQUAL
ReceiveTimeout is a value, in seconds, that the channel waits.

To stop a channel timing out its wait to receive data from its partner, set ReceiveTimeoutType to MQRCVTIME_MULTIPLY or MQRCVTIME_EQUAL, and ReceiveTimeout to 0.

This attribute is supported on z/OS® only.

To determine the value of this attribute, use the MQIA_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT_TYPE selector with the MQINQ call.
