Allows a process to specify what action system services should take when system resources required for their execution are unavailable. CAUTION Disabling resource waiting should be performed with caution, as doing so can have unexpected effects on constituent sharable images and runtime libraries. Format SYS$SETRWM [watflg] C Prototype int sys$setrwm ( char watflg);
1 – Argument
watflg OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned type: longword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by value Indicator specifying whether system services should wait for required resources. The watflg argument is a longword value. The value 0 (the default) specifies that system services should wait until resources needed for their execution become available. The value 1 specifies that system services should return failure status immediately when resources needed for their execution are unavailable. The operating system enables resource wait mode for all processes. You can disable resource wait mode only by calling $SETRWM. If resource wait mode is disabled, it remains disabled until it is explicitly reenabled or until the process is deleted.
