nummins
Specifies the maximum number of minutes (0-9999 in decimal) a DEFRAG operation can run. A value of 0 is ignored.
Note:
  1. The actual elapsed time of the DEFRAG operation might be slightly longer than the MAXTIME value; this value is checked only after each data set is processed.
  2. The CONSOLIDATE and the MAXTIME keywords are mutually exclusive. If you specify the CONSOLIDATE keyword when MAXIME is specified, the DEFRAG command terminates and DFSMS issues syntax error message ADR139E.
