/USE_NEXT_TIME /NOUSE_NEXT_TIME (D)

Instructs the manager to calculate the next run time for the new job by adding the schedule interval to the new job’s next scheduled run time.

By default (/NOUSE_NEXT), the manager calculates the next run time by adding the schedule interval to the job’s actual starting time.

This qualifier is useful if your new job has the following characteristics:

• Dependencies on other jobs
• A daily interval
• Occasionally waits until the next day to start running
