Rules for Formatting Job Management Manager Delta Time

• You can omit fields within the time only if you include the punctuation that separates the fields. For example, "+0 2::10" means 2 hours and 10 seconds.
• You can truncate a delta time on the right. In the example "+0 2::10," the hundredths-of-a-second fields are truncated.
• You must specify a value for days (+dddd), even if it is 0.
• In the DCL interface, you must enclose the Job Management Manager delta time in quotes because it always contains a space after the day value.
