Figure 215 CONFCAL Parameter Format

Optional. CONFCAL parameters are described below:

Table 202 CONFCAL Subparameters

Parameter	Description
CONFCAL	Specifies a valid calendar (member) name of 1 through 8 characters. A calendar specified in CONFCAL is used for validating schedule dates. Missions to be scheduled on a day, based on other specified scheduling criteria, are checked against the CONFCAL calendar. If the day is a working day in the CONFCAL calendar, the mission is scheduled on that day. Otherwise, parameter SHIFT determines whether the mission is shifted to (scheduled on) another day or is not scheduled.
SHIFT	When a mission fails confirmation for scheduling on a given day because the day is not a working day in the CONFCAL calendar, SHIFT determines if and when the mission is alternatively scheduled. Valid values are: blank—No shifting occurs. The mission is not scheduled. Default. > —Mission is scheduled on (shifted to) the next working day, according to the CONFCAL calendar. < —Mission is scheduled on (shifted to) the previous working day, according to the CONFCAL calendar.
	Note: Specifying a SHIFT value does not ensure that the mission is scheduled. SHIFT cannot add scheduling dates; it can only shift a mission to a scheduling date that is already defined. If SHIFT does not find a suitable date in the other scheduling criteria, the mission is not scheduled.

Parameter

Description

CONFCAL

Specifies a valid calendar (member) name of 1 through 8 characters.

A calendar specified in CONFCAL is used for validating schedule dates. Missions to be scheduled on a day, based on other specified scheduling criteria, are checked against the CONFCAL calendar. If the day is a working day in the CONFCAL calendar, the mission is scheduled on that day. Otherwise, parameter SHIFT determines whether the mission is shifted to (scheduled on) another day or is not scheduled.

SHIFT

When a mission fails confirmation for scheduling on a given day because the day is not a working day in the CONFCAL calendar, SHIFT determines if and when the mission is alternatively scheduled. Valid values are:

blank—No shifting occurs. The mission is not scheduled. Default.
> —Mission is scheduled on (shifted to) the next working day, according to the CONFCAL calendar.
< —Mission is scheduled on (shifted to) the previous working day, according to the CONFCAL calendar.

Note: Specifying a SHIFT value does not ensure that the mission is scheduled. SHIFT cannot add scheduling dates; it can only shift a mission to a scheduling date that is already defined. If SHIFT does not find a suitable date in the other scheduling criteria, the mission is not scheduled.
