CHECKINT (integer)

Use this option to balance frequency of restart points with the overhead incurred when taking restart points. When you specify CHECKINT on the OPTIONS command statement, the value specified overrides the value of the CHECKINT installation option (which defaults to 0).

If the installation option CHECKPT is set to CHECKPT=PHASE, a restart point is taken only if more minutes than those specified by CHECKINT have elapsed since the last restart point was taken. Use CHECKINT 0 (the default value) on the OPTIONS command statement and the CHECKPT installation option set to CHECKPT=PHASE to force a restart checkpoint after every phase.
