General Information

Control-O AutoEdit variables embedded in the TABLE, CAT, DATE, and LIBRARY subparameters are automatically resolved (replaced) at the time of rule activation. For more information about the AutoEdit Facility, see AutoEdit Facility.

DO CTD REQ can schedule a report under Control-D even if the date is not specified as a scheduling date in the mission’s Basic Scheduling parameters. It is similar to the FORCE option in the Control-D Job List screen and Category List screen.

• If the Control-D monitor is active, the DO CTD REQ statement is executed by the Control-D monitor.
• If the Control-D monitor is not active, the DO CTD REQ statement is queued and is performed when the Control-D monitor becomes active.
• If Control-D is not installed, ordering a rule containing a DO CTD REQ statement fails with an error message.

A DO CTD REQ statement can be distributed to Control-O on a remote system that is identified by the %%$COMMSYS reserved user-defined variable in a preceding DO SET statement. For more information, see the description of %%$COMMSYS in Reserved User-Defined Variables, and Performing an Action on Another System ctoug3.
