Generating a Run Calendar
To generate a run calendar:
•
From source data in an EDIT file, see Generating a Run Calendar From an EDIT
Source File on page 5-14
•
During an interactive BATCHCAL session, see Generating a Run Calendar During
an Interactive BATCHCAL Session on page 5-15
The BATCHCAL program does not let you alter the run times in a run calendar other
than by regenerating that calendar.
Generating a Run Calendar From an EDIT Source File
Step 1: Create and Open an EDIT File for the Calendar’s
Source Data
Create and open an EDIT file for the calendar’s source data by using the text editing
program EDIT:
> EDIT SRC9303 !
CURRENT FILE IS $NB.CALFILES.SRC9303
Step 2: Add the Calendar’s Source Data
Add the calendar’s source data to the file, then close the file and stop the EDIT
program:
*ADD
1 CAL9303 == File ID of run calendar

3 1993 MARCH WEEKDAY == Run daily Mon-Fri at 18:15
