Fiscal_Time Format: F[Y] [Q[qq]] [M[mm]] [W[ww]] [+/__] [D[ddd]][hh:mm:ss.cc]

Runs the job at the specified fiscal (F) time.

Some rules for specifying fiscal time interval:

• You must begin the fiscal time with F. The rest of the format is optional. The order of precedence for the fiscal date specifiers is left to right: year (Y), quarter (Q), month (M), week (W), and day (D).
• Place any value for a specifier directly after the specifier. For example, specify the third quarter as Q3, not Q 3.
• You can specify a quarter and week without a month, because the month falls within the quarter.
• The default day (D) is day 1.
• The default time [hh:mm:ss.c] is midnight. There must be a space before the time parameter. You can also use spaces within the time parameter.

For example:

• F Q3 W6 runs the job during the sixth week in the third quarter, on day 1 at midnight.
• F Q D5 12:00 runs the job on the fifth day of each quarter at noon.

The manager supports a 52- or 53-week fiscal year as described in the Fiscal Tax Year section of the Internal Revenue Service Publication 538 (Rev. Nov. 88). Fiscal years have the following restrictions:

• 4 quarters a year
• 3 months a quarter
• 7 days a week
• 364 days a year
• 52 weeks a year
• 13 weeks a quarter
• Two 4-week months and one 5-week month in each quarter (the 5-week month must be the same month in each quarter)

In addition, the following restrictions apply to a 53-week fiscal year:

• 371 days a year
• 53 weeks a year
• Three 13-week quarters and one 14-week quarter
• Two 4-week months and one 5-week month in each quarter, with the exception of one 5-week or 6-week month (the month containing the extra week)

By default, the manager supports a fiscal calendar, which always ends on the Saturday that is closest to the end of the month of June. See the SET FISCAL_YEAR command for instructions on defining a different fiscal year.
