Job Management Manager DCL Commands › SCHEDULE> › HOLD › Parameter

Parameter

job_specifier

The name or number of the job that you want to put on hold. For example:

SCHEDULE> HOLD MYJOB
SCHEDULE> HOLD 123

You must specify a job. If you omit the job specifier, the manager prompts you for it.

To hold a job belonging to another user, you must refer to the job by name and add the =username specifier to the name of the job. For example:

SCHEDULE> HOLD THISJOB=DOE

To hold a job on a remote node, you either add the node name to the job name or number, or use the /SERVER= qualifier. For example:

SCHEDULE> HOLD NODE1::MYJOB
SCHEDULE> HOLD NODE1::321

You can use wildcard characters to refer to job name, username, group name, and type name. The following example holds all jobs beginning with the letter B that are in groups beginning with W and owned by users whose names begin with D:

SCHEDULE> HOLD B*=D*/GROUP=W*
