Examples for WDAYS

The examples in this chapter are based on the following assumptions:

• The current month is December, 2001.
• Working days are defined in calendar WORKDAYS, which contains the following working days (indicated by Y) for December, 2001.

• Periodic calendar PERIDAYS contains the following periodic definition for December 2001. These examples assume that all other days of this calendar are blank.

WDAYS Example 11

• Schedule a job, on a weekly basis, on the first day of period C, using periodic calendar PER, in the month of August 2006. The first day of the week is defined as Monday (SWEEK=MON) :

  The months of July and August are defined in the periodic calendar PER as follows:

  J                                                             S  M

  U                                                            30 31

  WDAYS D1PC          WCAL   PER

  The job will be scheduled on the following days in August: Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th.

  The job is not scheduled on August 1st, because August 1st is contained in the week July 31 through August 6, and therefore, the first day of period C in that week is July 31.

  The job is scheduled on August 27, because it is the first (and only) day in period C of the week August 21 through August 27. The job is also obviously scheduled on August 28.

• Schedule a job, on a weekly basis, according to the criteria D1P* (the first day of any period), using periodic calendar PER (defined above), in the month of August 2006.

  WDAYS D1P*          WCAL   PER

  The job will be scheduled on August 7, 14, 21, and 28 only. The job will not be scheduled on August 6, 13, 20, or 27, because even though those dates contain the first day of a period in the respective week, the D1P* criterion has already been satisfied by a previous day (in a different period) in that same week.

WDAYS Example 12

In this example we want to interface scheduling criteria with pre-requisite conditions.

Schedule a job to run depending on which situation occurs first each month:

• If the first Monday of the month occurs before the 5th day of the month, then the job will run on the first Monday of the month.
• Otherwise, the job will run on the 5th day of the month.
