Starting manual allocation *START,SETUP

Function

If manual allocation was specified during JES3 initialization or with the *F,S,AL=M command, use the *START,S command to allow a job to proceed to allocation processing. The *START,S command is not required when automatic allocation was specified during JES3 initialization or by the *MODIFY,S,AL=A command.

Parameters

SETUP or S

Specifies that the job in the WAITVOL queue can proceed to the allocate phase.

jobno

Specifies the job number of the job that can proceed to allocation.

Result

If the job requires SMS-managed resources, JES3 sends the job to the main device scheduling (MDS) system select queue. If the job does not require SMS-managed resources, JES3 sends the job to the MDS allocate queue.
