Using the DCL Command Interface › Assigning a Job to a Group or Type

Assigning a Job to a Group or Type

You can assign a Job Management Manager job to a specific group or type. This feature lets you perform job actions on an entire job group or type, using a single Job Management Manager command. You can create or delete groups and types using the DCL interface only.

A group name or type name is a text string of up to 40 characters. For example, you might use DAILY, WEEKLY, or MONTHLY as a group name. You might use PROGRAM, DOCUMENTATION, BACKUP, or PROJECT-COSTS as a type name.
