Description

This command lets you specify at what point to restart a job interrupted by a system failure or other problem. When the system is available again, the job starts processing from the specified point.

Important! You can use this command only in a command procedure that the manager runs. If you use the command interactively, the manager takes no action.

If you specify a restart value with this command, the $VSSRESTART symbol equals TRUE in the command procedure. If the job does not have a restart value set, the symbol equals FALSE in the command procedure. This symbol is similar to the $RESTART symbol for an OpenVMS batch procedure.

The actual test value is held in the symbol BATCH$RESTART, identical to the symbol for OpenVMS batch procedures.

This command is the same as OpenVMS command SET RESTART_VALUE.
