Field Descriptions
Hold After
Use the Hold After field to set the HOLDAFTER attribute for jobs with a time attribute
(AFTER, AT, CALENDAR, EVERY, and WAIT). The HOLDAFTER attribute specifies
whether a job is placed on hold after it finishes executing. The field options are:
If you submit a job without specifying its HOLDAFTER attribute, the job adopts the
attribute HOLDAFTER OFF.
Pages
Use the Pages field to set the MAXPRINTPAGES job attribute. The attribute specifies
the maximum number of pages for the job output file. Because the attribute is, in effect,
a spooler attribute, it is effective only if the output file is a spooler process.
To set the attribute, enter an integer in the range 2 through 65534 specifying the
maximum number of pages. To specify no maximum, enter NOMAX.
If you submit a job without specifying its MAXPRINTPAGES attribute, the job adopts
the DEFAULT-MAXPRINTPAGES scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler
attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen.
The MAXPRINTPAGES job attribute applies to the job log file and the output of each
process started by the job:
•
If the job log file fills, the spooler logs error code 45 (“File is full”) to the scheduler
log file but continues processing the job.
•
If a TACL process or NBEXEC process is the executor program and the process
output file fills, the job is stopped. All processes started by the job are also
stopped. If the executor program is neither a TACL process nor NBEXEC process,
whether or not the job is stopped depends on how the process handles spooler
error code 45.
The attribute is overridden by the MAXPRINTLINES job attribute if the
MAXPRINTPAGES value converts to more lines. For example, MAXPRINTLINES 1200
will override MAXPRINTPAGES 25 (1500 lines). To avoid conflicting attributes, specify
MAXPRINTPAGES or MAXPRINTLINES, not both.
Stop On Abend
Use the Stop On Abend field to set the STOP-ON-ABEND job attribute. The attribute
specifies whether a job is stopped automatically if any process started by it terminates
because of CPU failure, abends with any completion code, or stops with completion
code -3, -2, -1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. For descriptions of these codes, see Table 6-4 on
page 6-113.
Y Yes specifies the attribute HOLDAFTER ON. The job is placed on hold when it finishes
executing and is flagged with a state of SPECIAL-1.
N No specifies the attribute HOLDAFTER OFF. The job is not placed on hold when
execution finishes.
