Tell-if-delay is a one byte EBCDIC field that specifies whether the application is to be informed of a delay in executing the request. A delay may be loss of communication with the Teradata Database, a restart of the Database, or the request being delayed within the Database by workload management, when the Database supports such notification.
If a restart is detected during logoff processing, CLIv2 reconnects the session and resubmits the logoff request.
