New Day processing performed with the sample components works as follows:

• During New Day processing, the New Day procedure accesses its Date Control record, scans table MAINDAY and selects and loads the maintenance jobs and User Daily jobs to the Active Jobs file.

The following figure shows Sample Components of the New Day Procedure:

Figure 23 Sample Components of the New Day Procedure

• The User Daily and maintenance jobs placed in the Active Jobs file are submitted by Control‑M according to their runtime scheduling criteria. When a User Daily job is executed, it accesses its own Date Control record, scans the tables defined to it, selects jobs and places the selected job orders in the Active Jobs file. (User Daily jobs can also schedule maintenance jobs as required.)

The following figure shows Jobs Placed in the Active Jobs File:

Figure 24 Jobs Placed in the Active Jobs File

Because the User Daily is a job, its use is not restricted to New Day processing. Although User Daily jobs are normally executed immediately after they are ordered by the New Day procedure, they can be executed at any time defined in their Runtime Scheduling parameters. Furthermore, they can be ordered at any time by any of the methods described in the selected implementation issues chapter in the Control‑M for z/OS User Guide.
