COMMANDS: EDIT, DOC, PLAN, JOBSTAT                                   11.17.00

Assume the computer was offline from the 16th up to and including the 18th, and the 15th was the last date that the job was scheduled for execution. Today is the 19th. Therefore, the job is only scheduled for execution on the 19th.

RETRO Example 2

Schedule the job for all working days, even if the computer is not active:

DCAL WORKDAYS

RETRO   Y

Assume the WORKDAYS calendar contains the dates 15, 16, 18, and 19, and the same conditions as above exist. The job is scheduled three times with the original scheduling dates: the 16th, the 18th and the 19th.
