IN Job Attribute
The IN job attribute specifies the name of a job’s input file.
file-name
is the name of an input file. The file can be a device, a process, or a disk file. If you
omit file-name, the scheduler passes spaces as the input-file name. (The effect
on the job of having spaces passed as the input-file name depends on the job’s
executor program.) Specifying a nonexistent file causes the scheduler to generate
this warning message but does not prevent the scheduler from executing the job:
0513-W IN file does not exist; create and secure as required
BATCHCOM expands a partially qualified file name by using the defaults specified
in the last VOLUME command. If there was no such command, the defaults
current at the start of the session apply.
You can create a job’s input file any time after submission and before execution if
either of these conditions exists:
•
The job is in the READY state.
•
The job has the HOLD or WAITON attribute, or a time attribute (AFTER,
AT,
CALENDAR, EVERY, or WAIT).
Specifying a nonexistent disk file as an input file prevents all users except the job
owner from accessing the job.
Considerations
•
Input-file commands must be compatible with a job’s executor program.
Otherwise
the job abends.
