General Information

The MAXWAIT parameter is used to overcome production delay problems. A mission that is scheduled for execution on a specific day does not always finish executing that same day. This is the case when the job that is to be balanced has not yet run. A mission may be delayed due to a number of reasons, such as hardware failure, a heavy production workload, or a bug in one of the predecessors of the mission. Therefore, it may be desirable to specify an additional number of days that the mission should remain available for execution.

When a mission is scheduled due to the parameter RETRO=Y, the mission is always given at least one day to execute. This occurs even if the current working date exceeds the MAXWAIT days after the last original scheduling date of the mission.
