Notes:
  1. SRTIMER is meaningful only if the SRCHRED=ON start option is also used.

Specifies the number of seconds during which VTAM® does not conduct searches for an unreachable resource. Once the time limit has expired, VTAM will conduct a search. SRTIMER is meaningful only when search reduction is active (SRCHRED=ON).

If SRTIMER=0 is coded, then the search time threshold is not used.

You can change the value of SRTIMER with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM is running.
