Editing Job Scheduling Definitions in the Edit Environment

This appendix discusses

Job scheduling definition parameters can be edited, moved, copied, deleted, or repeated, by performing IOA Line Editing commands, similar to standard ISPF line commands, from within the Edit environment.

The Edit environment in the Job Scheduling Definition screen is accessed by typing EDIT in the COMMAND field and pressing Enter.

COMMANDS: EDIT, DOC, PLAN, JOBSTAT 16.44.31

A 2-character Line Editing command field, marked by underscores, is displayed for each line on the screen.

Editing commands are typed directly onto these underscores.

Note: Edit commands cannot be applied to the first line of an IN block or an OUT block.

Incorrectly specified Line Editing commands can be corrected by typing over them correctly. Line Editing commands can be deleted by blanking them out or by specifying the RESET command in the COMMAND field.

The Line Editing commands you enter are processed when Enter is pressed.

Control-M performs Automatic Syntax Checking to ensure that the job scheduling definition is still syntactically correct after editing. If an edit may invalidate the job scheduling definition, a message is displayed at the top of the screen and the edit is not performed. For recommendations for editing job scheduling definitions, see Maintaining Valid Job Scheduling Definitions.

All operations available in the Job Scheduling Definition screen can be performed while in the Edit environment. For example, parameter values can be changed, and the job scheduling definition can be saved and exited.

To exit the Edit environment, retype EDIT in the COMMAND field and press Enter. Line Editing command fields are removed from the display.

Line Editing commands can be performed on the following:

Table 304 Subjects of Line Editing Commands

Subject	Description
Single Lines	One single line on the screen. Examples: Additional lines of the IN parameter. Single-lined DO statement (such as DO COND).
Logical Lines	All parameter lines for a specific parameter, including its subparameters. Examples: A DO SHOUT statement, whose subparameters are distributed over more than one line. A single-lined DO statement, such as DO COND.
Logical Blocks	Functional group of parameter lines. Job scheduling definitions consist of at least one logical block – an ON block. Example: ON block, which consists of its respective parameter lines and the DO statement lines.
Multiple Lines	User-specified group of parameter lines. Example: A series of DO statements.
