TIME: Job time control

TIME 5

causes program termination (CALL QMTERM) if less than 5 seconds are available.

Remarks

If no TIME card is given, 65 seconds is assumed by default on UNIX systems , 15 seconds on other computers . The number on the TIME card must be given WITHOUT a decimal point. In ALPHA, it is converted to a floating point number and is available as the variable QTIME (see 6.7.5). On all CERN computers, time is counted in IBM 370/168 seconds.
