The following fields are used to define condition tests for EC, EE, IS, LB, LE and LS condition types. The fields required vary according to the condition type to be defined.

RO

This input field can be used with the following condition types: EC, IS, LB, LE and LS. Data from this field as well as the TIME, AO and INT/ADJ fields is used to construct a date and time test to determine if an ARF condition exists. The relational operator for the test is provided in this field.

If the condition type is IS, the date/time when CA WA CA 7 Edition attempts to submit the job is compared with the date/time expression built from the input fields following this relational operator. An ARF condition occurs if the indicated relation obtains.

If the condition type is LB, the date/time when the job begins is compared with the date/time expression that is built from data provided in the input fields following this relational operator. An ARF condition occurs if the indicated relation obtains.

If the condition type is LE, the date/time when the job ends is compared with the date/time expression that is built from data provided in the input fields following this relational operator. An ARF condition occurs if the indicated relation obtains.

If the condition type is LS, the date/time when the job submits is compared with the date/time expression that is built from data provided in the input fields following this relational operator. An ARF condition occurs if the indicated relation obtains.

If the condition type is EC, the elapsed time when the job completes is compared with the value in the input field tagged INT/ADJ. An ARF condition occurs if the indicated relation obtains.

The relational operator is ignored for the EE test. The only valid input field is INT/ADJ.

The default is 'GE'.

This can be overtyped with one of the following values:

NE

Not equal

GE

Greater than or equal to

GT

Greater than

EQ

Equal

LE

Less than or equal to

LT

Less than

Default: GE

Limits: Required for EC, IS, LB, LE and LS condition types. It should not be specified for any other condition type.

Batch keyword: TRO

DATE

This input field can be used with the following condition types: IS, LB, LE and LS. Data from this field as well as the TIME, AO, and INT/ADJ fields is used to construct a date and time that is used in a comparison to determine if an ARF condition exists. An ARF condition occurs if the relation indicated by the RO value obtains.

If the condition type is IS, the date/time when CA WA CA 7 Edition attempts to submit the job is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

If the condition type is LB, the date/time when the job begins is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

If the condition type is LE, the date/time when the job ends is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

If the condition type is LS, the date/time when the job submits is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

Limits: 8 character positions in MMDDYYYY format. Valid range from 01011975 to 12312074. Or you can use one of the reserved words.

Required for IS, LB, LE and LS condition types. It should not be specified for any other condition types.

Batch keyword: TDAT

TIME

This input field can be used with the following condition types: IS, LB, LE and LS. Data from this field as well as the DATE, AO and INT/ADJ fields is used to construct a date and time that is used in a comparison to determine if an ARF condition exists.

If the condition type is IS, the date/time when CA WA CA 7 Edition attempts to submit the job is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

If the condition type is LB, the date/time when the job begins is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

If the condition type is LE, the date/time when the job ends is compared with the date/time expression that is specified here.

If the condition type is LS, the date/time when the job submits is compared with the date/time expression that is specified here.

Limits: 4 character positions in hhmm format. Valid range from 0000 to 2359. You can also use one of the reserved words.

Required for IS, LB, LE and LS condition types. It should not be specified for any other condition types.

Batch keyword: TTIM

AO

This input field can be used with the following condition types: IS, LB, LE and LS. Data from this field as well as the DATE, TIME and INT/ADJ fields is used to construct a date and time that is used in a comparison to determine if an ARF condition exists.

Data from this field along with data in the INT/ADJ field is used to adjust the date/time value provided in the DATE and TIME fields. If the increment used as an adjustment is to be added, use '+', if it is to be subtracted, use '-'.

If the condition type is IS, the date/time when CA WA CA 7 Edition attempts to submit the job is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

If the condition type is LB, the date/time when the job begins is compared with the date/time expression specified here.

If the condition type is LE, the date/time when the job ends is compared with the date/time expression that is specified here.

If the condition type is LS, the date/time when the job submits is compared with the date/time expression that is specified here.

Limits: 1 position. Allowable values are '+' or '-'.

Only allowable on IS, LB, LE and LS condition types. It should not be specified for any other condition types. It should only be used if an adjustment value is provided in the INT/ADJ field.

Batch keyword: TAO

INT/ADJ

This input field can be used with the following condition types: EC, EE, IS, LB, LE and LS. Data from this field can be interpreted as an adjustment to a date and time already specified; this is its meaning if the condition type is IS, LB, LE or LS. If the condition type is EC or EE, then the value in this field is interpreted as an elapsed time interval.

The value of this field should be specified in hhmm format, and is valid within +/- 1 minute.

Limits: 4 character positions in hhmm format. Valid range from 0000 to 2359. You can also use one of the reserved words in the table in the Reserved Words in Type Specific Tests.

Required for EE and EC
Allowed for IS, LB, LE, and LS.
It should not be specified for any other condition types.

Batch keyword: INT
