Deadline or periodic execution in a JES3 system

Use the DEADLINE parameter on the JES3 //*MAIN statement to execute your job by a certain time or periodically every week, month, or year. As the deadline approaches, JES3 increases the job's priority until it is executed. The priority is increased according to the installation-defined algorithm requested in the second subparameter.

Note: The term 'periodically' means that you submit a job as many times as you need it to process. For example, if you need a job to run once a month for every month of the year, you would submit 12 jobs with a date for each month. You could not submit a job once and have it process 12 times.
