string A string of characters without intervening blanks; if it is not 8 bytes long,
it is extended with blanks or truncated as required.

in the enclosed string. If you want to document a name (label) in your
program, use this form.
Note:
1. CICS does not use the RESOURCE_TYPE information but includes
it in trace entries, and displays it on appropriate CEMT screens to
help you to see what your task is doing. CICS internal requests
specify values, and you should use different values to avoid
ambiguity. CICS internal request values are documented in The
resources on which tasks in a CICS system can wait, in the CICS
Problem Determination Guide.
2. If RESOURCE_TYPE is not specified, the default value, if any, from
ADD_SUSPEND is used.
SUSPEND_TOKEN(name4 | (Rn))
specifies a token assigned by the system to identify the SUSPEND/RESUME
pair of operations used on the task.
name4
The name of a location where you have a 4-byte token previously
obtained as output from an ADD_SUSPEND call
(Rn) A register containing the token value.
TIME_UNIT(SECOND | MILLI_SECOND)
specifies the time unit used on the INTERVAL option.
SECOND
The INTERVAL option specifies the number of seconds before timeout.
MILLI_SECOND
The INTERVAL option specifies the number of milliseconds before
timeout.
WLM_WAIT_TYPE(name1)
specifies, in a 1-byte location, the reason for suspending the task. This
indicates the nature of the task’s wait state to the MVS workload manager.
The equated values for the type of wait are as follows:
CMDRESP
Waiting on a command response.
CONV
Waiting on a conversation.
DISTRIB
Waiting on a distributed request.
IDLE
A CICS task, acting as a work manager, that has no work request that is
allowed to service within the monitoring environment. For example,
journaling code that suspends itself when there are no journaling I/O
operations to perform.
