Job disposition after dumping

Normally, the DJ facility purges a job from the JES3 job queue after it is dumped to tape. You can, however, request that jobs be retained in the queue, or left in operator hold status using the DISP= parameter on the *START,DJ command.

If DISP=PURGE is specified or omitted from the *START,DJ command, the jobs are purged from the JES3 job queue after being dumped to tape.

If DISP=HOLD is specified on the *START,DJ command, the jobs are retained and placed in operator hold.

If DISP=SAVE is specified on the *START,DJ command, the jobs are retained and not placed in operator hold.

No job will ever be dumped more than once by a DJ DSP, unless you enter a *START,DJdevnum,RESET command.
