ALTER JOB Command
°
If the job’s state is EXECUTING, OVER LIMIT, or SUSPENDED, the only
attributes that can apply are DESCRIPTION, HOLDAFTER, IFFAILS, LIMIT,
PURGE-IN-FILE, RESTART, SAVEABEND, STALL, and STOP-ON-ABEND. If
the job is also recurrent, the updated description applies in full the next time
the job runs. (A recurrent job has the CALENDAR or EVERY attribute.)
When you alter an executing, over-limit, or suspended job, BATCHOM displays
a warning message similar to:
0517-W Job job-name is currently executing or
suspended; altered attribute(s) might not affect
current execution
•
You can omit the object keyword JOB from the ALTER JOB command only when
JOB is the current assumed object. For more information, see ASSUME JOB
Command on page 6-72.
