$MJ Deadline Command Syntax

$MJ,DEADLINE,type=(prty1,leadtime[,prty2,incrtime])
$MJ,DEADLINE=type

Identifies the deadline algorithm defined as a character A-Z or a number 0-9 that controls how the job’s priority is increased.

Is a 1 or 2 digit priority to be assigned to the job when the lead time occurs. If prty1 is preceded by a “+”, then the value is added to the existing priority. If prty1 is followed by an “R”, then the job is released from JES2 HOLD when the lead time occurs. “R” can be specified in place of prty1, in which case, the job is released and the priority is not modified.

Is the amount of time prior to the job’s deadline that the prty1 value of this algorithm should be applied. It can be specified in minutes (e.g. 30M) or hours (e.g. 2H) or hours and minutes (e.g. 0235). Regardless of how it is specified, the maximum lead-time is 24 hrs.

Is a 1 or 2 digit priority to be assigned to the job when incrtime occurs. If prty2 is preceded by a “+”, then the value is added to the existing priority. The increments continue until the job starts executing or the job’s priority reaches 15.

Is the amount of time after the initial priority adjustment and/or release that the prty2 value of this algorithm should be applied. It can be specified in minutes (e.g. 30M) or hours (e.g. 2H) or hours and minutes (e.g. 0235). Regardless of how it is specified, the maximum incrtime is 24 hrs.
