Differences between SHOUT and DO SHOUT

SHOUT and DO SHOUT statements have the following differences:

• A DO SHOUT statement is applied only if the accompanying ON criteria are satisfied. Therefore a DO SHOUT statement does not contain subparameters for specifying when to perform the shout.

  By contrast, a SHOUT statement requires that a value be specified in subparameter WHEN indicating when to shout the message. Messages can be shouted when the job ends OK or NOTOK, when the job is late for submission or completion, or when the job runs too long.

• A SHOUT statement appears in each job scheduling definition. A DO SHOUT statement does not appear unless specified. To specify a DO SHOUT statement, type SHOUT in an empty DO field and press Enter.
• The SHOUT URGN subparameter is equivalent to the DO SHOUT URGENCY subparameter.
• The SHOUT MS subparameter is equivalent to the DO SHOUT subparameter.
