Question

What is the default duration unit if I omit the duration unit in TIME command?

Answer

The default duration unit of TIME command is Interval.

For example, if you issue "TIME * * 30", it is identical to "TIME * * 30I".

It is the same situation if you specify Duration without the unit in the SET TIME FRAME dialog (when issuing TIME command without any parameters in a view).
For example, if you specify 30 at Duration:

-------------------------------- SET TIME FRAME ---------------------------
COMMAND ===>

   Requested Time Frame:
     End Date ===> *               (*, =, or yyyy/mm/dd)
     End Time ===> *               (*, =, or hh:mm
                                    or hh:mm:ss or hh:mm:ss.th)
     Duration ===> 30              (*, =, NEXT, PREV, TODAY, MONTH,
                                    nnnnI, nnnnM, nnnnH, nnnD, or nnW)
     DOW Mask ===> ERYDAY          (EVERYDAY, WEEKDAYS, WEEKENDS)
     TOD Mask ===> LDAY            (ALLDAY, PRIMESHIFT, SWINGSHIFT,
                                    GRAVEYARDSHIFT)

When you re-enter the SET TIME FRAME dialog, you can see the unit is Interval, see below:

-------------------------------- SET TIME FRAME ---------------------------
COMMAND ===>

   Requested Time Frame:
     End Date ===> *               (*, =, or yyyy/mm/dd)
     End Time ===> *               (*, =, or hh:mm
                                    or hh:mm:ss or hh:mm:ss.th)
     Duration ===> 30I             (*, =, NEXT, PREV, TODAY, MONTH,
                                    nnnnI, nnnnM, nnnnH, nnnD, or nnW)
     DOW Mask ===> ERYDAY          (EVERYDAY, WEEKDAYS, WEEKENDS)
     TOD Mask ===> LDAY            (ALLDAY, PRIMESHIFT, SWINGSHIFT,
                                    GRAVEYARDSHIFT)
