Basic Scheduling Parameters determine on which day a report decollating mission is scheduled in (ordered to) the Active Missions file.
The New Day procedure determines if the report decollating mission is a candidate for execution on a specific date (that is, the job is expected to run that day). If a report decollating mission is a candidate for execution on a specific date, the report decollating mission is placed in the Active Missions file.
Each report decollating mission in the Active Missions file has an original scheduling date associated with it. This is the date the job should be decollated according to the Basic Scheduling parameters. This date is not necessarily the same as the current system date or the working date.
Note: Basic Scheduling parameters may be ignored by the Control-V New Day procedure, depending on the mode of operation. For more information, see the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide. If Basic Scheduling parameters are irrelevant to the mode of operation used at your site, ignore the information in this chapter about Basic Scheduling parameters.
Basic Scheduling parameters are divided into the four groups listed below. Parameters must be selected from only one of the first three groups (A, B or C). Use of the fourth group (D) is optional.
