The CONNECTTIMELIMIT option can be used to specify the maximum amount of time, in minutes, that the system will allow for a successful match with a corresponding endpoint. The default for this option is an unlimited wait. If the amount specified is negative, an error result is returned. If the value is zero, there is no time limit on the wait. If the value is not a single-precision integer, it is integerized. If the FILESTATE of the port file does not change to an OPENED or OPENRESPONSEPLEASE file state within the time specified, the AWAITOPEN fails and an implicit CLOSE ABORT is performed on the subfile.
