CALENDAR data operations

HFor example you have a job that is to run every 3 days. Along with this Ginterval you define a calendar which describes which days are allowed. BThis job may not be allowed to run on weekends. These two bits of Dinformation are used to control this automatic rescheduling process.

ECalendar data is managed and maintained using the following commands. " &

 DELETE/CALENDAR " Delete a calendar definition
 DIRECTORY/CALENDAR % List known calendar definitions
