Weekend Distribution

The distribution network may work differently on weekends. Instead of six couriers, only three couriers are used, and the areas are divided in a completely different way (for example, part of the northeast county is delivered by the airport courier). In such cases, it is possible to create special printing mission categories for weekend processing. They contain different INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameters from the printing missions used for daily processing.

The weekend category and the daily category should have different basic scheduling criteria (for example, different WDAYS). They are then automatically scheduled by Control-V. Refer to the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide for information about how to schedule printing missions.
