3.10 Displaying and Updating a Job Definition
To correct errors detected by the ANALYZE command or to make any other
changes to job definitions, you can retrieve a record from the database, display
it and alter it. There are several ways to do this:
■
■
■
■
Go to the Job Maintenance menu and select the ALTER function by typing
3 in the input area. You must also give the name of the job you want to
alter. Then press Enter.
Display the Job Directory panel by going to the Job Maintenance menu and
pressing ENTER. When the directory appears, move the cursor to the job
you want to alter and type A next to it. This allows you to alter a number
of definitions quickly without having to return to the Job Maintenance
menu each time.
Another shortcut uses the RECS= line to edit related job records. If you
have displayed one job record and want to edit another record belonging
to the same job, enter A after the appropriate field on the REC= line.
The fastest method for editing allows you to go directly to any optional job
record from the Job Directory panel. Enter a three-letter code to indicate
what you want to do and which record to do it to. This method is
explained in detail later in this topic.
The first method parallels what you have learned about editing other types of
records, so that will not be repeated here. Other methods of editing are shown
following.
Two factors determine who can update a job record:
■
■
A user's authority level
The USERS defined on the corresponding schedule base record
Supervisor authority allows users to update all jobs that run at stations
specified on their userid records. People with Manager authority can update
all job records for every workstation, but users with General authority can only
update jobs belonging to public schedules and schedules that specifically
define them as USERS.
Begin by checking which option on the Job Maintenance menu allows you to
alter existing records:
