)TOD—Event Definition Section of TOD Rules

Every TOD rule requires the presence of at least one event specifier, with a maximum of ten. You can code the first event specifier on the )TOD event definition line, as shown in the previous example, or you can code the event on its own line following the event definition line. If you have any additional specifiers, you must code them one per line, following the first specifier. Start-time, End-time, Interval, and Max Execs can be declared independently.

Options follow the first event specifier and must be entered in the order shown in the previous code sample. Each of the following options controls the operation of the whole rule, not just the first event specifier.

Use this format for coding the time-of-day event definition section:

)TOD  EventSpecifier1,[MSGALLOW],[CATCHVAL],[SYNCH]
      EventSpecifier2
…
      EventSpecifier10
