  MESSAGE:  PS00-00 ENTER THE DESIRED FUNCTION AND JOB INFORMATION.

This panel contains the following fields:

FUNCTION

Determines the action to take when you press Enter. Available FUNCTIONS are the following values:

ADD

Adds the job to CA WA CA 7 Edition. Note the following defaults (using the CA-7 CPU Job Definition panel for field names): the JOBNET field defaults to the PATTERN name if one is entered, the SYSTEM field defaults to CA7PS, the OWNER field is the USERID of the person adding the job and the UID is the UID of the person adding the job. All other defaults are taken from the Personal Scheduling or regular DEFAULTS job as defined at your installation.

LIST

Lists the information that has previously been defined to CA WA CA 7 Edition using the ADD function, the UPD function, or both.

UPD

Updates the CA WA CA 7 Edition information about the job with the information provided in the other fields on this panel. If external security is used, the person updating must have the same USERID as the OWNER field on the JOB panel and the same UID (coids are not honored).

DEL

Deletes all of the job's information from CA WA CA 7 Edition.

SUBMIT

Submits the job listed in the JOBNAME field to the CPU. It runs without waiting for the scheduled date/time. The PATTERN field is not honored with this function. This function can be used to run a job without having to set up a PATTERN and TIME for the job to be scheduled. The TIME field may be used to establish a submission time of day within the next 24 hours. The JOB RUNS AFTER field can be used to cause the job to wait on the execution of another job that runs under CA WA CA 7 Edition control. To add the job to the database, the ADD function must be used.

STATUS

Displays the current information about the job. This may include information about when the job last ran, when it is scheduled to run next, and current status if the job is executing or waiting to be submitted. The information is displayed on the lower half of the panel, below the STATUS INFORMATION line. These are the possible messages that can be displayed:

  • JOB IS NEXT SCHEDULED AT hhmm ON yy.ddd
  • JOB LAST RAN AT hhmm ON yy.ddd
  • JOB IS WAITING FOR JOB xxxxxxxx
  • JOB IS AWAITING EXECUTION
  • JOB IS ACTIVE ON CPU
  • JOB DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A SCHEDULE
  • JOB IS NOT DEFINED IN THE CA-7 DATABASE
QUIT

Terminates the current session with CA WA CA 7 Edition.

JOBNAME

Indicates the job on which the indicated function is performed. The field may be 1-8 alphanumeric characters. Required.

JCL ID

Identifies the JCL data set which contains the execution JCL to be submitted. If used, the value must be a numeric INDEX associated with the desired JCL data set (on the JCL statement in the initialization file). The numeric INDEX specified must be a number between 0 and 999. This field or the JCL LIB field is required if the job is not defined in the database. JCL ID and JCL LIB are mutually exclusive.

Note: For more information about the initialization file, see the Systems Programming Guide.

JCL LIB

Identifies the JCL data set which contains the execution JCL to be submitted. If used, the value must be a symbolic INDEX associated with the desired JCL data set (on the JCL statement in the initialization file). This field or the JCL ID field is required if the job is not defined in the database. JCL ID and JCL LIB are mutually exclusive.

Note: For more information about the initialization file, see the Systems Programming Guide.

PATTERN

Indicates the days that this job is going to run. Each site has a unique set of PATTERN jobs defined that give you flexibility in scheduling your jobs. Optional.

If PATTERN is input and it is the same as the one already defined, then no changes are made to the job's schedule, even if the schedule of the PATTERN job has changed. To delete a PATTERN, enter =D in the PATTERN field and use the UPD function.

TIME TO RUN

Indicates the time of the day(s) that this job is submitted. This value can be specified from 0001 (one minute after midnight) through 2400 (midnight). Make sure that you specify the correct hour (3:00 p.m. is specified as 1500). Required if PATTERN is used.

TIME can also be used with the SUBMIT function to demand a job to be submitted in the next 24 hours. If the time of day that is specified is less than the current time of day, the job is submitted then on the following day.

JOB RUNS AFTER

Used to indicate that the job you are submitting must wait for another job to complete before it can run. This field lets you establish sequencing for the job. This field is only valid with the SUBMIT function. Optional.
