Field Descriptions
AFTERExecution of a job with the AT or AFTER attribute is delayed by the WAIT
attribute if the WAIT attribute is specified. For example, a job scheduled to run at or
after 17:30 is delayed until 18:00 if the WAIT attribute specifies a half-hour delay.
The default value is AFTER.

attribute. The Start Time field enables you to specify, in any order, the date, time, or
both for these attributes.

AFTER Specifies the AFTER job attribute. The attribute makes a job available for
execution on the date and time specified in the Start Time field. After this
time, execution of the job depends on:
•
Executor availability (the scheduler does not create a temporary executor
to run the job)
•
Tape drives availability (if the job has the TAPEDRIVES attribute)
•
Master jobs releasing the job (if it has the WAITON attribute)
