The DOTM field.

The job's Due-out (DOTM) time is when it should complete. Note that the submit time is back calculated from the DOTM so here if the job was scheduled with these times it would be submitted 23:00 Sunday night. Batch keyword: TIME=(due-out,lead,submit)
THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The LDTM field.

Ensure that the LDTM is not more than the difference between the DOTM and the SBTM - this ensures the job is requested by the right schedule scan. If the CLOCK time is 2359 the DEADLINE time is the DOTM minus the LDTM.

The SBTM field.

This is the time at which the job will be released. If this is more than the DOTM, the submit date will be for the previous day. If omitted the job will be requested and released when Schedule Scan executes.

The SCHID field.

The schedule ID that the job will be requested for. If the job is demanded with- out specifying a schedule ID it will select the FIRST SCHID defined in the job schedule. Keyword: SCHID=2

The SCAL Field.

The calendar to be used. The default is set on the previous screen but now under 3.2 it can be over-written here. LISTDIR,DSN=*SCAL* will list all available calendars. PRINT,SCAL= shows the details of one calendar. Batch keyword: SCAL=WD
THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The ROLL Field.

This option determines what occurs when a non-working date is selected. These dates are defined in the calendar - see the PRINT command. If the default of D is used the job will not be run on this day. If F is coded the next working day will be used. B means the date will be the previous working date. N means the job will not be rolled and the job will be run on that date. (Note it doesn't work with DAILY) ROLL=D

The INDEX Field.

Once the ROLL has been calculated the INDEX is applied. This is the number of days added to or subtracted from all selected dates. Non-working days are not counted. INDEX=-2.
THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The DAILY Field.

Requests the job for every working day. You cannot use ROLL=N to request jobs on non-working days (Use ROLL=N, WEEKLY & an X next to each day) Batch keyword: DAILY=Y
THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The WEEKLY Fields.

Schedule on a weekly cycle. Put X next to the day or days. Keywords: WEEKLY=Y,DAYS=( , X , , , , , )
THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The MONTHLY Fields.

Run monthly. Must be used with RDAY or both WEEK and DAY-OF-WEEK. Leave all months blank if all are required. Keywords MONTHLY =Y, MONTHS=( X , , , X , , , X , , , X , , )
THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The WEEK & DAY-OF-WEEK Fields.

Used to select or exclude particular days of the week within a month. A / (slash) means dates are excluded and a - (minus) works from the back of the month. Here the job will be requested on the first and last THU & FRI of the month. The /2 means the 2nd THU & FRI will be excluded if selected by other criteria. These fields will select and count non-working days. Kewords: WEEKS=1 -0 /2, DOW=THU FRI

The RDAY Field.

With SCHDDAYONLY=N it will select or exclude days of the month. Here the 3rd and last days would be selected but the 5th day of the month and the 3rd-to-last day would be excluded. With SCHDDAYONLY=Y it selects or excludes relative working days of the month. So here the job would run on the 3rd and last working day and exclude the 5th and 3rd-to-last working day. Batch keyword: RDAYS =3 -0 /5 /-2
THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The ANNUAL Field.

Selects or excludes Julian dates. Note if resolving after JUNE, JAN-JUN dates are used for the following year. This facitliy should be used with care as the dates will need changing every year. Consider using #ED and #BD statements so a year can be defined. ANNDAYS=100 /231

THIS LINE TO TOP OF SCREEN . PREVIOUS SECTION . NEXT SECTION . JOB SCHEDULE SCREEN . BACK

The SYMETRIC START Field.

This defines the first day to be used on a SYMETRIC schedule. If used on a SCHDDAYONLY=Y calendar this value will need to be altered every year to maintain the cycle. If the date specified is a non-working day, the next working day is used. For SCHDDAYONLY=N calendars there should be no need to update the field every year. However you may break the cycle if resolved manually. Keywords: SYMETRIC=Y,START=21

The SYMETRIC SPAN Field.

With SCHDDAYONLY=Y this example means run every 28 working days. For SCHDDAYONLY=N the job is requested every 28 days whether working days or not. See START box for problems. Keyword: SPAN=28
