Resolution

The WAIT option can be used for CAIRIM AUTOCMD: 

WAIT(nnn) option where nnn is 0 - 999

The WAIT command is only valid as an AUTOCMD in CAIRIM, not for CAENF.

The CAIRIM auto commands member specifies one command per line, exactly as it would be issued from the operator console.

Comments can be added by placing an asterisk (*) in Column 1. 

The option WAIT(nnn) causes the auto-command process to pause nnn seconds, where nnn is a number in seconds from 0 through 999.

Example: Auto Command for Top Secret: 

In this example, Top Secret starts automatically after 30 seconds:

     *  Bring up TSS 
     START TSS 
     WAIT(30)
