i5/OS Jobs › Pass Keyword Parameters to SBMJOB

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. The following statements map to parameters for the SBMJOB command.

You can also pass additional keyword parameters, such as OUTQ(*JOBD), to the SBMJOB command.

To pass an SBMJOB command keyword and value combination, specify the OTHERS statement in the job definition.

Note: The special value for these SBMJOB parameters, such as *USRPRF and *JOBD, also apply to the statements. You can use these special values in your job definitions. For more information about the SBMJOB parameters and their special values, see the IBM documentation.

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