SLM SELECT

This command allows the operator to modify which jobs on the ambient member are eligible to be selected for execution by SLM. In addition, for General Services jobs, it allows the operator to modify the point at which they are eligible to be selected for execution by SLM.

To get a display of the current SELECT settings for a member, use the SLM SELECT command without any operands.

Scope: System

Duration: Until next SLM SELECT command or next IPL.
