Specifies an interval during which VTAM® tracks the number of general poll failures that occur for a BSC 3270 terminal. If two failures occur within this interval, VTAM treats this as an unrecoverable failure of the terminal and deactivates it.

There are 1.048576 seconds in each units_of_time. If 0 is specified, the terminal is not deactivated as a result of general poll failures.
