Date Control Records and Enhanced Daily Checkpointing

A Date Control record must be defined for each User Daily job. This record is usually defined by the INCONTROL administrator.

The Date Control record for User Daily jobs consists of six fields. At different stages in New Day processing (before or after the execution of specific called programs that perform New Day processing), the current original scheduling date is placed in one of these date fields.

This enables Control‑M to manage the process of job ordering. Furthermore, if New Day processing or a User Daily job is interrupted at any point, the values in these fields can indicate which called program was in use when the interruption occurred.
