Job scheduling definitions can be created using two basic methods:
A skeletal job scheduling definition can be created by typing the name of a new job scheduling definition in the entry panel. The table specified in the entry panel can be either a new table if PTBLEMPT=N or an existing table if PTBLEMPT=Y. In this case, virtually all fields of the job scheduling definition are empty.
A copy of an existing job scheduling definition can be created using the INSERT option in the Job List screen, described in Options of the Job List Screen. In this case, most fields of the new job scheduling definition have the same values as the fields in the copied job scheduling definition.
Note: Under ISPF, job scheduling definitions can also be created using the M5 online utility. This method is described in M5: Quick Schedule Definition, and is not included in this discussion.
