ALTJOB
Alters the attributes of waiting or scheduled jobs. (Native Mode)
Syntax
ALTJOB [JOB=] {#Jnnn} [;INPRI=inputpriority] [;OUTDEV={ldev }]
{#Snnn} [ {devclass}]
Parameters
#Jnnn A job number.
#Snnn A session number. (Although syntactically correct,
this parameter is rarely used: sessions do not
wait.)
inputpriority The new input priority (0 = lowest; 14 = highest).
ldev or devclass The logical device number or device class name of
the destination device job's $STDLIST.
Operation Notes
The ALTJOB command, in conjunction with the JOBFENCE command, allows you
to control the flow of all jobs on the system with the exception of HIPRI
jobs. It can be used to alter only jobs in the INTRO, WAIT, or SCHED
state. Jobs with an input priority less than or equal to the current
JOBFENCE, a numerical value from 0 to 14, are deferred.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK.
Pressing Break has no effect on this command. If issued from the console
or by a user with SM capability, or allowed via the ALLOW command, the
ALTJOB command can be used to alter any job. A user who is not at the
console, does not have SM or has not been allowed the command may issue
ALTJOB only if jobsecurity is set to low. If jobsecurity is set to low
then all users can issue ALTJOB against their own jobs and account
managers (AM capability) can issue it against any job in that account.
Example
In the following example, three jobs are submitted by users, each with an
INPRI value of 8. To change the INPRI values to ensure that JOB1 runs
first, JOB2 runs last, and JOB3 runs second with LP allocated as the
OUTDEV for JOB3, enter the following commands:
JOBFENCE 14
15:11/#J1/24/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #53
15:11/#J2/25/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #53
15:13/#J3/26/DEFERRED JOB INTRODUCED ON LDEV #53
