There are two CONSOLxx parameters, RLIM and RMAX, that govern WTOR and REPLY behavior. These can be dynamically changed via the CONTROL M (K M) command. RLIM sets the REPLY LIMIT, number of WTORs that can be outstanding at any time. If there are RLIM WTORs already outstanding, new WTORs will wait for the count to reduce to below RLIM. Programs with certain attributes can breach RLIM and approach RMAX. If the system exhausts all the REPLY IDs available to it (systems reserve the IDs in chunks), it will then serially reuse REPLY ID 0. If REPLY ID 0 is already outstanding, a subsequent WTOR will wait for ID 0 and the system will issue IEA557A. A WTOR will "last" until there is a valid REPLY command for that ID or the program requesting the REPLY terminates.
