Examples

Example 1

The report decollating mission should remain in the Active Missions file indefinitely:

MAXWAIT=99

Example 2

The report decollating mission should be given an extra three days to execute after its original scheduling date has passed:

DAYS=2,4,6

MAXWAIT=3

Assume that the report decollating mission does not run due to the absence of the required runtime conditions. The report decollating mission that is scheduled for the 2nd of the month waits from the 2nd through the 5th to be executed.

On the 6th, Control-V times out and the report decollating mission scheduled for the 2nd is not executed. The report decollating missions scheduled for the 4th and 6th wait for execution until the 7th and 9th, respectively.

Example 3

Schedule the report decollating mission for every working day, whether or not the computer is active. Give the report decollating mission one extra day to execute:

DCAL=WORKDAYS,

RETRO=Y,

MAXWAIT=1

Assume that calendar WORKDAYS, specified in parameter DCAL, contains the values 15, 16, 18, and 19. The computer was off-line from the 16th up to and including the 18th, and the 15th was the last date that the report decollating mission was scheduled for execution.

Today is the 19th. The report decollating mission is scheduled three times with original scheduling dates of the 16th, 18th and 19th.

The 16th’s and 18th’s report decollating missions are disregarded on the 20th if they have not yet executed. The 19th’s report decollating mission is disregarded only on the 21st.
