I assume your question as "during the execution of CICS DELAY"

EXEC CICS DELAY has a counter that will start counting until it reaches the specified time limit.So it tells that it still utilising the resource during its execution.

I also had a similar issue. I was using EXEC CICS Delay between to LINKS. After the delay statement got executed, the PGM1 was still utilizing the resources and hence the Pgm 2 could not complete functioning. I had to use EXEC CICS RETURN in order to free the resources used by PGM1
