Freeing a Held Job

Because you held the job before entering the Zoom screen, the job cannot continue processing until you free it. You do this by entering option F (Free) for the job.

1. Enter option F for the job order for IDJOB3. A message at the top of the screen indicates that the freeing of the job is performed. The status of the job changes to Requested Free Wait Schedule.

CTM659I FREE OF TASK IDJOB3 GROUP " " ODATE 020201 PERFORMED          <D> - (3)

COMMAND ===>                                                    SCROLL ==> CRSR

O Name     Owner    Odate  Jobname  JobID   Typ ----------- Status ------------

  IDJOB3   ID       020201                  JOB Requested Free Wait Schedule

========= >>>>>>>>>>>>>        Bottom of Jobs List       <<<<<<<<<<<<< ========

1. Periodically refresh the Active Environment screen by pressing Enter.

   During this process, you see the following actions:

   • IDJOB3 changes to Wait Schedule status, and then goes through the regular submission process. The job ends NOTOK (with a condition code of C0008).
   • The Shout message you defined is sent to your terminal. The message is  similar to the following:

     CTM- FRIDAY FISCAL RESULTS RUN FAILED  02.02 14:12 CN(INTERNAL)

   • As a result of the condition code from IDJOB3, job IDJOB4 is forced and is displayed in the Active Environment screen. Job IDJOB4 ends OK.

  IDJOB4   ID       020201 M21     /31867   JOB Ended "OK"

If desired, you can check the results of the job runs in the Log file. As you did in the last chapter, you can enter option L for either or both jobs.

Alternatively, you can enter =5 in the COMMAND line to request option 5 of the IOA Primary Option menu. This option displays the IOA Log screen. Once in the IOA Log screen, you can define a filter to filter the job display in much the same way that you did in the Active Environment screen.

1. Exit the Online facility.

   This completes the steps in this chapter of the Control-M for z/OS Getting Started Guide.
