33.0. "Which Parameter?" by SPUD::GAYF () Fri Mar 27 1987 09:25

    How does ZAP determine which parameter has priority over another?
    Is it determined by which parameter it "reads" last, or first?
    
    For instance:
    In one case I have ZAP set so that anyone who is running RTPAD will
    be allowed 30 minutes idle time, but at the same time I have a
    particular terminal set to 15 minutes idle time, I have also set
    the image on that terminal to a wildcard(*).
    
    Now in the case above, which will happen first, the 15 minute timeout
    because of the terminal assignment or the 30 minute timeout because
    of the image RTPAD?
    
    Thanks..

    The order that exception records are utilized is determined by which
    record is read FIRST in the Zap exception file (ZAP$DIR:ZAP.DAT).
    
    For example:
    
    [*,*]	RTPAD		all		30		warning
    [*,*]	*		_TTA1:		15		warning
    
    This would result in the terminal having a 15 minute timeout except
    when it is running RTPAD.  At that time, it would have a 30 minute
    timeout.
    
    If the exception records were reversed, then it would always have
    a 15 minute timeout.
