Confirming a Job Order

When you examine the Active Environment screen you will see the following:

• A data line for each job order displays information about the job. This information includes the job name, job owner and the job order date (ODATE), as well as other information.
• the status of each job order is displayed in the Status field for each data line.

When you examine the status of these jobs you will see the following:

• The status of IDJOB1 is Wait Confirmation (for schedule).

  Wait Confirmation (for schedule) status is displayed because you defined this job to require job confirmation.

• The status of IDJOB2 is Wait Schedule.

  Wait Schedule status is displayed because IDJOB2 cannot be scheduled, or submitted, until its prerequisite IN condition, IDJOB1-ENDED-OK, has been satisfied, and this can only occur after IDJOB1 successfully ends.

To confirm that JOB1 should be submitted you need to enter the appropriate option in the O (option) field by the job name.

1. Enter OPT in the COMMAND field to toggle the command/option display.

   The list of available options is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

   You can now see that to confirm the scheduling of a job, you should enter line command C (Confirm).

2. Enter C in the O (option) field, to the left of IDJOB1.

   The Status field display changes for each of the two jobs, as they are executed.

4. Keep pressing Enter in the Active Environment screen.

   If you press Enter quickly enough, you will note the following progression:

   • IDJOB1 changes status to Wait Submission.
   • IDJOB1 changes status to Submitted.
   • IDJOB1 changes status to Ended "OK".
   • IDJOB2 changes status to Wait Submission.
   • IDJOB2 changes status to Submitted.
   • IDJOB2 changes status to Ended "OK".

   At the end of the process, the screen is displayed as follows:

   Filter: IDGS      ------- Control-M  Active  Environment ------ UP    <D> - (3)

   COMMAND ===>                                                    SCROLL ==> CRSR
