Commands ==> EVENT - Specify Events, JCL - Browse Saved JCL, END - Complete Updates, CANCEL - Cancel Updates |
You can enter this panel from the Add Job Request Panel, the Modify Job Request Panel, or the Specify Job Request Events panel.
The following informational fields are displayed:
Request‑ID is the unique ID for the job request. For more information please refer to Section 3.2.
Status is the status of the job request. For more information please refer to Section 3.7.
The following data entry fields are available:
Start Date tells PJS which date you want to submit the job for execution. You can specify an absolute date in the mm/dd/yyyy format or a relative date in the *+ddd format. For more information on date specifications, please refer to Section 3.6.
Start Time tells PJS what time you want to submit the job for execution. You can specify an absolute time in the hh:mm[AM|PM] format or a relative time in the *+{hh:mm|hh|:mm} format. For more information on time specifications, please refer to Section 3.5.
End Date tells PJS the date on which it will stop submitting the job for execution. You can specify an absolute date in the mm/dd/yyyy format or a relative date in the *+ddd format. For more information on date specifications, please refer to Section 3.6.
End Time tells PJS at what time it is to stop submitting the job for execution. If you plan to use the end time parameter, you must also have values specified in the End Date input field. You can specify an absolute time in the hh:mm[AM|PM] format or a relative time in the *+{hh:mm|hh|:mm} format. For more information on time specifications, please refer to Section 3.5.
Window Time specifies a window of time during which PJS can submit your job. A job can be submitted late because PJS was down or because events were not posted. While the time window is open, PJS may resume operation or the events may be posted. If your job isn't submitted while the time window is open, the action specified by the Window Optn field is taken. The Window Optn parameter is discussed below.
The Window Time field specifies a time relative to the value specified in the Start Time field to determine when the window closes. For example, if submission time is 10:00 and you want to open a time window for two hours, you can enter a relative time value of 2:00. The time window will close at 12:00.
To specify the window time, use the hh:mm format, where:
hh is the number of hours. Valid values are 00 through 99.
mm is the number of minutes. Valid values are 00 through 99.
If you don't want a time window for the job request, you can overtype the value in the Window Time field with blank characters. A job request without a window time can be delayed indefinitely, and will still be submitted as soon as all its events have been posted and the PJS System Task is up.
Window Opt tells PJS what to do if the job cannot be submitted within the time window specified by the Window Time field. You must specify a value for Window Time if you plan to use this parameter.
You can specify one of the following:
DISABLE places the job request in DISABLED status. The job request remains on the PJS Request Queue, but it is inactive. PJS cannot submit the job.
ERROR places the job request in ERROR status. The job request remains on the PJS Request Queue until it is modified or deleted. This is the default.
SKIP causes PJS to behave as if the job was submitted. PJS calculates a new run date and time, and resets all job request events. When the new start time value is reached, PJS will attempt to submit the job.
To activate the job request, you can specify Yes in the Enabled field on the Modify Job Request Panel. For more information on the Modify Job Request Panel, please refer to Subsection 5.2.4.
Periodic means that you want PJS to submit the job for execution at regular intervals.
This field consists of two subfields, num and units, where:
num is the number that specifies how many units elapse between each job submission. If you specify unit as YR for year or MO for month, valid values range from 1 through 99. For any other unit, valid values range from 1 through 999.
unit is a measure of time multiplied by num to determine how much time elapses between job submissions. When you specify a unit, you can use the displayed abbreviations, the full name of the unit, or you can abbreviate the full name by specifying the first two or three characters in the unit name. You can specify one of the following valid values:
YR means that the job is to be submitted for execution every num years.
MO means that the job is to be submitted for execution every num months.
Caution: If the number of days in a month is less than the value of Start Date, PJS does not submit your job during that month.
For example, if the start date for a monthly job is January 31, PJS assumes you want to submit the job on the 31st of each month and that every month has 31 days. To calculate the next run date, it adds 31 days to January 31: the next run date is February 31st. The job is actually submitted 31 days from January 31. In most years, the next actual run date is March 3, so the job is not submitted during the month of February. The job is next submitted on March 31, so the monthly job is submitted twice in March.
You can avoid this problem by specifying a start date that begins no later than the 28th day of the month. For example, if you specify 1 MO and a start date of January 16, PJS will submit the job on the 16th of each month.
WK means that the job is to be submitted for execution every num weeks.
DAY means that the job is to be submitted for execution every num days.
HR means that the job is to be submitted for execution every num hours.
MIN means that the job is to be submitted for execution every num minutes.
If you specify a value for Periodic, you cannot also specify a value in any of the other Frequency fields.
Day of Week means that the specified job is submitted for execution every week on each specified days. Select days by typing a non‑blank character in the input field that precedes the appropriate day. To remove a selection, overtype the character in the input field with a blank character. You can select from one through seven days.
If you specify a value for Day of Week, you cannot also specify a value in any of the other Frequency fields.
End of Month means that the job is to be submitted nn days before the end of each month, where nn is a value from 0 through 27.
For example, if you specify 0, the job is submitted each month on the last day of the month, for example, May 31 or June 30. If you specify 3, the job is submitted three days before the end of each month, for example, May 28 or June 27.
If you specify a value for End of Month, you cannot also specify a value in any of the other Frequency fields.
Calendar(s) means that PJS will submit the job for execution on the date or dates specified in a calendar. This enables you to specify an arbitrary set of submission dates. Before you can use this keyword, you must have created at least one calendar. For information on how to create a PJS calendar, please refer to Section 5.3.
You can specify up to three calendars. However, if you specify more than one calendar, PJS only submits the job on the dates that are specified on every calendar.
Specify each calendar‑ID with the [owner‑ID.]cal‑name format, where:
owner‑ID specifies who "owns" the calendar.
cal‑name is the name of the calendar.
For more information on how to specify a calendar‑ID, please refer to Section 3.3.
If you specify a value for Calendar(s), you cannot also specify a value in any of the other Frequency fields.
Once is the default for the Frequency field. If you do not enter a value in any other Frequency field, the job will be submitted for execution once only.

Figure 5. The PJS Event ISPF Panels |
The Event Menu Panel is the gateway to the PJS event panel system. From here, you can list, post, reset, or display events. This panel is discussed in Subsection 5.4.1.
The List Events Panel lists events. You can also post, reset, or display events. Additionally, you can display a list of which job requests have specified a given event. If you plan to work with more than one event during a session, it's a good idea to use this panel. The List Events Panel is discussed in Subsection 5.4.2.
The Post Event Panel enables you to post an event. Before you can use this panel, an event must be specified in at least one job request. When an event is posted, the event dependency is satisfied in every job request in which the event is specified. If you have an event specified in more than one job request, but want to post the event in one job request, you can use the Specify Job Request Events Panel, which is discussed in Subsection 5.2.6. If, however, you plan to post an event in every job request that specifies the event, use this panel. The Post Event Panel is discussed in Subsection 5.4.3.
The Reset Event Panel enables you to reset an event. Before you can use this panel, an event must be specified in at least one job request. When an event is reset, event posting is removed, so the job request event in every relevant job request must be posted before PJS can submit the job for execution. Events are automatically reset after job submission. If you have an event specified in more than one job request, but want to reset the event in one job request, you can use the Specify Job Request Events Panel, which is discussed in Subsection 5.2.6. If, however, you plan to reset an event in every job request that specifies the event, use this panel. The Reset Event Panel is discussed in Subsection 5.4.4.
The Display Event Panel displays the status of one PJS event. This panel is discussed in Subsection 5.4.5.
The Job Requests for Event Panel displays the job requests in which a given event was specified. This panel is discussed in Subsection 5.4.6.
Use the Calendar Menu Panel as a gateway to the PJS calendar panel system:

S is short for Select or diSplay. This option will display the Display Event panel. This panel is described in Subsection 5.4.5. When using this option the PJS event-ID for the event to be displayed should be entered in the Owner-ID and Event Name input fields.
You can exit this panel and return to the PJS Main Menu panel by pressing PF3.
The following input fields are available:
Owner‑ID specifies who "owns" the event you are posting, resetting, listing, or displaying. You must be authorized to access events for an owner-ID other than your own. For more information on the owner‑ID specification, please refer to Section 3.1.
Event Name is the name of the event. If you plan to post, reset, or display an event, you must enter a value in this input field. For more information on this specification, please refer to Section 3.4.
Use the List Events Panel to display a set of events for a specified owner‑ID:
