Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds and thousandths of seconds, that VTAM® should wait before transmitting low-priority data (that is, PIU transmission priority 0 or 1) to the physical unit.

For more efficient operation, code this value as high as possible. For maximum speed across the interface, do not code delay. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for more information.
