DAYS/DCAL WDAYS/WCAL

These parameters are all optional.

Parameter DAYS identifies days of the month on which the report decollating mission should be scheduled (for example, 1st day of the month, 3rd working day of the month). Several formats are available for specifying DAYS values.

Parameter WDAYS identifies days of the week on which the report decollating mission should be scheduled. For example, the 1st day of the week, the 2nd working day of each week. Several formats are available for specifying WDAYS values.

A calendar name can be specified in the DCAL and/or WCAL fields. A calendar specifies days of the year on which a rule can be scheduled, known as working days. For more information on calendars and the IOA Calendar Facility, see IOA Calendar Facility.

When both DAYS and DCAL are specified, they work as a complementary unit, as described later in this chapter. Similarly, when both WDAYS and WCAL are specified, they also work as a complementary unit, as described later in this chapter.

When values for both DAYS (/DCAL) and WDAYS (/WCAL) are specified in the same report decollating mission, the resulting schedule is determined by the value specified in field AND/OR.
