SCHEDULE statement

Purpose: The SCHEDULE statement is used to specify scheduling attributes for a job such as the job group it is associated with and whether the job should be held until a specified time before execution. The SCHEDULE statement is ignored for the started tasks (STC) and TSO sessions (TSU).

Note: In z/OS Version 2 Release 2, the SCHEDULE statement is only supported by JES2.

The SCHEDULE statement must immediately follow the JOB statement. In other words, it must be the second statement in the job.

The parameters that you can specify for job processing are arranged alphabetically in the following sections.

For information about the JES initialization parameters that provide installation defaults, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Reference.
