OTHERS Statement—Pass Keyword Parameters to SBMJOB

When the scheduling manager submits a job to the i5/OS system, the job must pass through the SBMJOB command to execute. Keyword parameters are additional parameters that the scheduling manager passes to the i5/OS SBMJOB command. The OTHERS statement lets you specify any valid SBMJOB command keyword and value combination. You can also specify multiple combinations.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the i5/OS job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

OTHERS keyword(value) ...

keyword (value)

Specifies any valid SBMJOB command keyword and value combination. The value corresponds to the SBMJOB command keyword (the value that would appear in brackets after the keyword in the SBMJOB command).

Notes:

• You can specify multiple keyword and value combinations. Separate each combination with a space.
• The entire value can be up to 4078 characters.
• The scheduling manager does not validate the keyword and value combinations.
• The agent uses the user's default output queue if the USER statement is specified in the job definition and the OTHERS statement does not include the SBMJOB OUTQ( ) command keyword and value that defines the output queue for the job.

Example: Define the Printer and Output Queue for an i5/OS Job

This example runs a program named PAYJOB on an i5/OS system. The printer and output queue information is taken from the job definition.
