I don't believe that there is an MVS service to wait for 1 cpu second.
There is a service to allow notification after a task uses one CPU second,
but, if you wait on that ECB you are unlikely to ever wake up unless you have
IRB's scheduled.
The STIMER macro with the REAL or TASK option allows you to specify an
exit to be driven when the interval expires. REAL is real time, TASK is
CPU time used by the task issuing the STIMER.
Normally your task would continue executing after issuing the STIMER,
and it will be interrupted and sent to the exit when the interval
expires. You could code your main task to wait on an ECB and code the
exit to POST the ECB, but for TASK that makes no sense since the task
will not be accumulating CPU time and the interval will never expire.
Unless, as Binyamin said, you have IRBs or SRBs being driven in your
task for other asynchronous interrupts.
