Functions
A, D, or U
Use the fields in the A, D, or U column to indicate the maintenance functions you want
to perform on the corresponding master jobs. The NetBatch-Plus application executes
these functions when you press F6–Maintain. The field options are:
Set
Use the fields in the Set column to specify the defaults sets with which the master jobs
are associated.
Job Name
Use the fields in the Job Name column to enter the names of the master jobs on which
the current job depends. Each master job runs in the scheduler specified for it on the
Job Definition screen.
The dependent job does not run until released by all its master jobs. To enable master
jobs to release the dependent job, you must include the TACL macro ZBAT:RELEASE
or the NBEXEC command $RELEASE in the input file of each master job.
•
Use the ZBAT:RELEASE macro if the master job’s executor program is a TACL
process
•
Use the $RELEASE command if the master job’s executor program is an NBEXEC
process
You can place the macro or command anywhere in the input files of the master jobs.
For information on ZBAT:RELEASE and $RELEASE, see the NetBatch User’s Guide.

These functions are available on the Job Dependencies screen:
A Adds the job specified by the set and job name to the master jobs list.
