I have a call in to the RC at the moment becuase of this problem. I
have three jobs that run over the weekend that consistently fail with
this error. The HP Knowledge Base lists a problem if you use break
and resume with the PAUSE command but the jobs are only waiting for a
file to arrive with a pause of 1 minute. They haven't mentioned
anything about HPTIMEOUT. I'll let you know if they come up with
anything.
