How to Change the Attribute Values of Batch Jobs

With the exception of key attributes, you can change any attribute of a single job that

belongs to a batch job. Use Peruse or Spoolcom to change these attributes in the

same way you would if the job did not belong to a batch job.

Figure 1-5. How the Spooler Determines Which Jobs Are to Be Batched

Note. When a job is part of a batch job, you cannot alter the key attributes. Unlinking jobs is

described in Linking and Unlinking Jobs on page 1-19.
