Field Descriptions
The options for the Stop On Abend field are:
If you submit a job without specifying its STOP-ON-ABEND attribute, the job adopts
the DEFAULT-STOP-ON-ABEND scheduler attribute. To display this scheduler
attribute, use the Scheduler Info screen.
A process that terminates, abends, or stops does not stop a job with the STOP-ON-
ABEND ON attribute if the process was dissociated from the job by the run option
JOBID.
Both processes of a process pair must cease to exist before the STOP-ON-ABEND
attribute takes effect.
At/After
Use the At/After field with the Start Time field to set the AT job attribute or AFTER job
attribute. The options for the At/After field are:
Y Yes specifies the attribute STOP-ON-ABEND ON. The job is stopped as soon as any
process started by it terminates, abends, or stops for the reasons listed previously.
Processes already started by the job is also stopped.
Caution. If your TACL version is earlier than T9205C20 AAJ, the executor program process
might start new processes before the scheduler receives the terminate, abend, or stop
message. To prevent new processes from starting in these circumstances, test the completion
code of each process before starting the next process.
N No specifies the attribute STOP-ON-ABEND OFF. The job continues processing when
a process terminates, abends, or stops.
AT Specifies the AT job attribute. The attribute executes a job on the date and
time specified in the Start Time field. If an executor is not available at that
time, the scheduler creates a temporary executor to run the job. The
scheduler deletes the temporary executor when job execution finishes.
Execution does not occur at the specified time in either of these conditions:
•
The job’s TAPEDRIVES attribute specifies more tape drives than are
available. The job is executed as soon as the required number of drives
is available. For more information on the TAPEDRIVES job attribute, see
Drives on page 6-128.
•
The job has the WAITON attribute and has not been released by the
master jobs on which it depends. The job is executed as soon as it is
released by all its master jobs. For more information on the WAITON job
attribute, see Waiton Jobs
on page 6-126.
NetBatch-Plus converts the AT attribute to AFTER if you submit the job when
the AT-ALLOWED scheduler attribute is OFF. This conversion lets the
scheduler accept the job and ensures the job runs as soon after the specified
time as possible. For more information on the AT-ALLOWED scheduler
attribute, see Scheduler Info
on page 6-190.
