Forecast Interval

The beginning time for the forecast interval for these functions is always the command initiation (current) time. The ending time for the forecast interval is optional. If omitted, selection is based on the CA Workload Automation SE queues only. You can specify the ending time either explicitly by a keyword TO or implicitly by SPAN.

The keyword has the following format:

TO=(mmddyy,hhmm)
mmddyy

Defines the date.

mm

Defines the month (01 through 12). Required. Leading zeros are required.

dd

(Optional) Defines the day (01 through 31). If omitted, last day of month is assumed. A leading 0 is required if less than 10.

yy

(Optional) Defines the year. If omitted, the current year is assumed.

hhmm

(Optional) Defines the time. If omitted, 2359 is assumed.

hh

Defines the hour (00 through 23).

mm

Defines the minute (00 through 59).

The SPAN keyword format has the following format:

SPAN=hhhh
hhhh

Defines hours from 1 to 8784 (one year).

Examples

Forecast interval examples:

TO=(0517,08) is identical to (051709,0800)

TO=06 is identical to (063009,2359)

In these examples, current year is 2009.
