Job Ordering Methods

Under Control-M, job ordering is normally performed automatically by the New Day procedure and User Daily jobs during New Day processing, as described in detail in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

However, at times it is desirable to perform job ordering using methods other than the New Day procedure and User Daily jobs. For example, it may be necessary to schedule special purpose jobs, or to order jobs for a different working date.

Control-M provides several alternative methods of job ordering. Some methods of job ordering are performed online; others in batch. Some are performed automatically, while others are performed manually.

Below is a list of facilities and functions that enable jobs to be ordered without the New Day procedure and User Daily jobs.
