/VMS_COMMAND=vms_command

Specifies the OpenVMS command to perform when the manager runs the job. You can specify a single command (such as SHOW TIME) or a command file (such as @RENAME.COM). The maximum command length is 1024 characters

In the case of remote mode jobs, this is the command to be executed on the remote node and operating system, and must follow the correct syntax for the operating system used. Use quotes to enclose a case-sensitive command.

If the command string contains spaces or begins with the at sign (@), you must enclose the string in quotation marks. For example:

$ SCHEDULE MODIFY/VMS_COMMAND="@RENAME.COM"
$ SCHEDULE MODIFY/VMS_COMMAND="COPY FILENAME.EXT"

To include quotation marks within the command, specify two consecutive quotation marks. For example:

$ SCHEDULE MODIFY/VMS_COMMAND="WRITE SYS$OUTPUT ""Hello"""
