Start Prestart Jobs (STRPJ)

The Start Prestart Jobs (STRPJ) command starts jobs for a prestart job entry in an active subsystem when there are no currently active prestart jobs for the prestart job entry.

This command is valid after an ENDPJ command is complete, or when all prestart jobs have been ended by the system due to an error or were never started during subsystem start up due to STRJOBS (*NO) on the ADDPJE command. The number of jobs started is determined by the INLJOBS value on the prestart job entry.

Restrictions:

  1. To use this command, you must have:
    • job control (*JOBCTL) special authority.
    • use (*USE) authority to the subsystem description.
    • use (*USE) authority to the program and execute (*EXECUTE) authority to the library that contains the program.
    • use (*USE) authority to all auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device descriptions in the ASP group if the subsystem description specifies an ASP group.
