TIMEOUT 1006

This report is given when the time limit specified by the system variable ⎕RTL is exceeded while awaiting input through character input () or ⎕SR.

It is also reported by ⎕FHOLD if it times out.

It is usual for this error to be trapped.

Example

      ⎕RTL←5 ⋄ ⍞←'RESPOND WITHIN 5 SECONDS: ' ⋄ R←⍞
