Line Commands-Specifying Requests in ISPF
Type line commands under the C portion of the C/S field (see Fields). The following line commands are available on the Simulated Date Time Settings screen:
Command | Description |
|---|---|
S | Sets a pattern job request by adding it to the request table. The request is inactive once the job completes, but remains in the request table until you delete it with the D (Delete) line command. |
H | Sets and holds a pattern job request by adding it to the request table. Unlike the S (Set) line command, this command allows the request to remain active once the job completes. The pattern job request and all related jobs remain until you delete them using the D (Delete) line command. |
R | Resets a pattern job request. This command deletes an existing pattern job request and its related jobs, then adds the pattern job request back into the request table. The R command allows you to modify the values in the GHD, YYYY/MM/DD, and/or HH:MM:SS fields of an existing pattern job request. No other fields can be modified using the R command. A request or job owned by a different user ID can only be reset by an Xchange administrator. For information on designating Xchange administrators, see Task-8-3-5-Designating-Xchange-administrators. |
D | Deletes an existing pattern job request and its related jobs (if applicable). A request or job owned by a different user ID can only be deleted by an Xchange administrator. For information on designating Xchange administrators, see Task-8-3-5-Designating-Xchange-administrators. |
A | Adds a pattern job request that defines a job that is already running (active). The active job request is added to the request table and becomes inactive only after a selected job completes and is removed from the active queue. The request remains in the request table until it is deleted. When you use this line command, the wildcard feature is prohibited for the Jobname field. |
F | Entered on a pattern job request that is in A (Active) status. The command forces the status to C (Completed) for all executing requests associated with the A (Active) job pattern request. Job pattern requests that were initiated with the S (Set) line command will become N (Not Active) and job pattern requests initiated with the H (Set and Hold) line command will become Q (Queued). Also, the command forces the job that was being exchanged by the A (Active) job pattern request to stop exchanging its date and time. This line command may not be used on DDF requests and job pattern requests set with the A (Set Active) line command. This line command is only valid for users with Xchange administrator authority. For information on designating Xchange administrators, see Task-8-3-5-Designating-Xchange-administrators. |
