2.1.1.2 Interval rescheduling

2.1.1.3 Marked calendar rescheduling

FThe marked calendar rescheduling method indicates that a job is to be ?run on all days marked with a certain letter on the designated Hcalendar. Each day of a calendar can be marked with one or two letters. @For example to set up a job to run on June 16 use the following commands.

2.1.2 Resource requirements

FEach job in the SCHEDULE database can specify either or both "disk space and a file requirement.BIf more then one file or one disk is required multiple job entriesHcan be strung together. The first job, once requirements are satisfied, ;initiates a second job which then waits for another set of requirements. ¹

=The disk space requirement is specified as the number of freeDblocks that must exist on a specified disk volume before the job is Hallowed to proceed to the next scheduling state. For example to specify Fthat a job must have 100,000 blocks of space on DUA1: before starting use the following command.

N Note

¹ A job entry that does not contain any DCL commands is treated differently from one that does. Such a job is never submitted for execution and is treated as having successfully completed when it comes time to submit it. This is the type of job entry that would be used to implement multiple disk or file requirements.
