General Information for DESC

The DESC parameter is informational. It does not affect job processing. It serves as internal documentation, to let the user know the purpose of (or some other key information about) the job.

The description specified in the DESC parameter appears to the right of the job name in the Job List screen.

Text for the DESC parameter can be specified in any language.

Note: For conversion customers prior to version 6.0.00, if the current job was converted from another job scheduling product, such as CA-7, the string SCHEDULE-PREV-DAY or SCHEDULE-PREV-ONLY may appear in the DESC field for the job group. This string causes all scheduled runs of the job to be shifted back one day. The SAC parameter is used instead.

For information on how to specify more detailed job documentation, see Job Documentation.
