Note: When a SMART Table is ordered, the values in the second Date Control record will be those of the SMART Table Entity, even if a failure occurs in one of the SMART Table’s jobs.

The program passes over the jobs in the input tables, counting the jobs and comparing the count to the value in the SERIAL_NO field, until the count and serial number match. The matching job is selected.

The program then compares the values in the JOB and GROUP fields to the values belonging to the selected job. If the fields do not match, error message CTMD67S is issued and processing terminates.

• If the fields match, the program checks the Active Jobs file for a job with an order ID matching the order ID recorded in Record 2. If the match is found, an additional check is performed to verify that the job’s MEMNAME and GROUP values match the checkpoint JOB and GROUP values.
• If the Active Jobs file already contains the job, the job is not ordered again and the program switches to normal processing starting with the next job.
• If the Active Jobs file does not contain the job, the job is ordered. The program then switches to normal processing.

  Note: If input tables are modified prior to rerunning User Daily jobs (or the New Day procedure), the checkpointed job and internal sequence number might not match. In this case, rerun of the User Daily jobs is terminated and manual intervention is required.

If a problem is encountered in Newday processing related to job ordering, the Newday procedure can be rerun using the ORDERONLY parameter as follows:

S CTMTDAY,NEWDAY=ORDERONLY

The job can be run while the Control-M monitor is active.
