Field Descriptions
In the second part of the field, specify the classes. You can specify a single class or a
range of classes. To specify a single class, enter the class name in full (for example,
CL-1). To specify a range of classes, use the question mark (?) and asterisk (*) wild-
card characters in the name.
Select By Date
Use the Select By Date field to enter a selection date for a bulk submit run. The bulk
submit program uses the date as the criterion by which it selects jobs in the run. The
program selects a job in a run specifying selection by date when both of these
conditions exist:
•
The job’s selection criteria (specified on the Bulk Job Selection Criteria screen)
includes the selection date. You can specify the date for a job explicitly (for
example, 25Dec2002) or implicitly via a calendar category including that date (for
example, CHRISTMAS).
•
The inclusion flag of the job’s date or category criterion matching the selection date
is IN (Include). The bulk submit program does not select the job if the inclusion flag
is EX (Exclude). For more information on the flag, see Bulk Job Selection Criteria
on page 6-6.
You can specify the selection date for the run using any of the forms listed in the
preceding description of the Start Submit field. Date and category (specified in the
Select By Category field) are mutually exclusive.
Select By Category
Use the Select By Category field to enter a selection category for a bulk submit run.
The bulk submit program uses the category as the criterion by which it selects jobs in
the run. The program selects a job in a run specifying selection by category when both
of these conditions exist:
•
The job’s selection criteria (specified on the Bulk Job Selection Criteria screen)
includes the selection category.
•
The inclusion flag of the job’s category criterion matching the selection category is
IN (Include). The bulk submit program does not select the job if the inclusion flag is
EX (Exclude). For more information on the flag, see Bulk Job Selection Criteria on
page 6-6.
Category and date (specified in the Select By Date field) are mutually exclusive.
Hold
Use the Hold field to set the HOLD attribute of the jobs selected in a bulk submit run.
The field specifies whether the jobs’ schedulers place the jobs on hold as soon as the
bulk submit program submits them for execution. The field overrides the HOLD
attribute set on the Job Definition screen for individual jobs in the run. The field options
are:
