NAME Job Attribute
NAME Job Attribute
The NAME job attribute specifies a name for a job’s executor-program process.
process-name
specifies a unique name for the executor-program process. The name can contain
from one to five alphanumeric characters. The first character must be alphabetic.
For network access and for processes that use the C-series OPEN procedure
instead of the D-series FILE_OPEN_ procedure, the name cannot contain more
than four characters.
A job fails during startup (SPECIAL-3 state) if process-name specifies the name
of an existing process.
Considerations
•
An executor-program process of a job submitted without the NAME attribute
is
assigned a system-generated name. A low PIN process is given a four-character
name, and a high PIN process is given a five-character name.
•
The scheduler places the value of the NAME attribute in the name-option
parameter of the PROCESS_CREATE_ procedure. For more information about the
procedure, see the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.
Example
This example shows the NAME attribute specifying the name of an executor-program
process:
> BATCHCOM $ZBAT; SUBMIT JOB X, EXECUTOR-PROGRAM DELAY,
STARTUP
"1 MINS", NAME $ABCD
Job X Jobnumber 34 submitted
> STATUS *, GMOMJOBID $ZBAT.34, DETAIL .
.
Pid: 1,50 ($ABCD) Primary .
.
GMOMJOBID: $ZBAT.34
NA[ME] $process-name
Note. The operating system reserves for its own use process names of the form $Z aaa[ a],
$Y ddd[ d], and $X ddd[ d], where a is any alphanumeric character and d is any numeric
character. Do not use names of these forms in process-name.
