Functions
F6–Alter Changes the attributes of the current job. (F6–Alter has the same function
as the BATCHCOM command ALTER JOB.)
You can change any attribute of a job that is not executing or suspended.
The changed attributes apply when the job runs.
You can change the following attributes of an executing or suspended job:
IFFAILS, PURGE-IN-FILE, RESTART, STOP-ON-ABEND. The changed
attributes apply as soon as you press F6.
You can change any attribute of an executing or suspended recurrent job
(a recurrent job is one that has the CALENDAR or EVERY attribute). The
changed attributes apply the next time the job runs.
You can use F6–Alter function to alter the attributes of your own jobs. You
can also alter another user’s job but only if you have write access to the
input file of that job. If the input file does not exist or if the file is a device
or process, only the owner can alter the job.
F8–Delete Deletes the current job. (F8–Delete has the same function as the
BATCHCOM command DELETE JOB.)
You can delete jobs with a state of EVENT, READY, RUNNEXT,
RUNNOW, SPECIAL-n, TAPE, or TIME. You cannot delete jobs with a
state of EXECUTING or SUSPENDED. (To delete these jobs, use the
F12–Stop function on the Job Status screen.)
F8 cancels a recurrent job (a recurrent job has the CALENDAR or EVERY
attribute). Canceled recurrent jobs are not rescheduled for execution.
Super-group users (255, n) can use this function to delete jobs owned by
any user. Non-super-group users can delete their own jobs. They can also
delete jobs owned by other users if they have write access to the input
files of those jobs. If the input file does not exist or if the file is a device or
process, only the owner or a super-group user can delete the job.
F14–Status Displays the Job Status screen. Use the Job Status screen to display the
number, name, selection priority, owner, class, and processing state of a
scheduled job. You can perform the F4–Run Next and F5–Run Now
functions on the screen. You can also suspend or delete the job (if the job
is executing) or activate it (if the job is suspended).
