&TIME STATEMENT                                                  EXEC statement

Use the &TIME control statement to request timing information to be displayed
at the terminal after each CMS command that is executed.  The format of the
&TIME control statement is:
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| &TIME     | [OFF|ON|RESET|TYPE]                                             |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
where:

OFF      does not automatically reset the processor's time before every CMS
         command, nor does it print the timing information on return.  This is
         the default.

ON       resets the processor's time before every CMS command, and prints the
         timing information on return.  If the &CONTROL control statement is
         set to CMS or ALL, the display of the timing information is followed
         by a blank line.

RESET    performs an immediate reset of the processor's time.

TYPE     displays the current timing information (and resets the processor's
         time).


Usage Notes:

1.  When timing information is displayed, it is in the format:
       T=x.xx/y.yy hh:mm:ss
    where:
       x.xx     is the virtual processor's time used since it was last reset in
                the current EXEC file.

       y.yy     is the total of the processor's time used since it was last
                reset in the current EXEC file.

       hh:mm:ss is the actual time of day in hours:minutes:seconds.

2.  The processor's time is set to zero before the execution of the first
    statement in the EXEC file, and is again set to zero (reset) whenever
    timing information is printed.
