• Program: Defines the job that executes the program
• Command: Defines that the job executes a command and includes the Command line.
• Embedded TACL Script: Defines a script exactly as it is specified in a terminal for the specific computer, which is part of the job definition.
• External Process: Attaches an external process (not submitted by Control-M) to a Control-M Active job.

Defines the name of the TACL file.

Defines the name of the program to execute.

Defines the Volume and sub volume where the TACL script or Program resides.

Defines the Volume and sub volume where the overriding TACL script or Program resides

Defines a valid device name.

Defines the CPU number (0–15) in which the process executes on.

Variable Name: %%CPU

Defines the priority in which the process executes under.

Variable Name: %%PRI

Enables you to assign job environmental attributes, such as name and other attributes (for example access mode and exclusion mode).

Enables you to set environmental variables for your applications.

Enables you to set the name and value of your program to use these parameters when creating a job.

Defines the full name of the input file.

Defines the full filename of the output file (which is overwritten if it exists already).

Determines whether validity checks are performed against any of the Tandem related job attributes.

Determines whether the job submits to the Tandem operating system. Instead, the job ends OK and for the job a dummy OUTPUT is created.

Determines whether the job creates in a nowait manner. This means the parent process does not wait for acknowledgment that the process was created.

Determines whether the CTMRJOB diagnostics are turned on for this specific job, overriding the value specified by the GUARDIAN configuration parameter CTMRJOB_DIAG.

Defines information about the environment of the new process. Control-M rules 0-127. See PROCESS_CREATE_API in the HP NonStop Guardian Procedure Calls. Field Name: CREATE_OPTION.

Defines the SETMODE command to be issued for the created process. See SETMODE API in the HP NonStop Guardian Procedure Calls. Field Name: SETMODE <function><Param1><Param2>

Defines an integer (Job ID) that specifies the job to be created. See Run Command in the HP NonStop TACL Commands and Functions. Set to GEN to instruct Control-M to generate a unique job ID.

Enables you to use the parameter for informational purposes only. See Run Command in the HP NonStop TACL Commands and Functions. Field Name: SWAP

Enables you to allocate swap space for the default extended segment of the process. See Run Command in the HP NonStop TACL Commands and Functions. Field Name: EXT_SWAP

Defines the initial number of memory pages in which the process is created.
