/commands

The COMMANDS qualifier is the list of VMS commands that will be submitted in the form of a command file.

/confirm

/noconfirm

CONFIRM requests that the user be prompted prior to any operation to verify that the selected entry is the correct one.

/hostname=host_name

The qualifier specifies what node (either local or remote) you want the operation performed on.

/distribution

The "DISTRIBUTION list" is a list of PRINT commands to be issued. The idea is to provide a central mechanism for maintaining the how many, where to, and what printer information in a common location separate from the job command stream.

/endactions

The ENDACTIONS listing is a list of resource adjustments that are to be run upon completion of the job.

/holds_up

The "HOLDS_UP list" is a list of jobs that are held up by the job being edited.

/initiates

The "INITIATES list" is the list of other jobs to start up when this one completes successfully.

/log

/nolog

The LOG qualifier causes each completed operation to issue a note to the user.

/notices

The "NOTICES list" is a free format text entry that is used by the NOTIFICATION procedure to augment the various messages that it sends.

/prerequisites

The "PREREQUISITES list" is the list of other jobs that must be successfully completed before this one is started.

/resources [/check, /expanded, /full]

Displays a list of generalized resources. The resource list is where the bulk of advanced job programming occurs. Here IF-THEN or SET statements are processed that can check or alter the value of a variable, supress a job run or cause a wait to occur.

The CHECK qualifier performs a syntax check on the resource list to ensure the correct IF-THEN and set statements can take effect. The EXPANDED qualifier used in conjunction with CHECK will display expanded information about the current status of the resource list. The FULL qualifier will give a complete listing of resource information
