Controlling the job attribute source

 

The attributes that the subsystem assigns to jobs come from five sources; the job description, the user's user profile, a system value, the job issuing the Submit Job (SBMJOB) command, and the workstation (interactive jobs only). You control from where the subsystem retrieves the specific job attribute by specifying the source in the job description. To modify a job description, use the character-based interface. Command: Change Job Description (CHGJOBD)

To control job attributes and tell the subsystem where and when to get job attributes from different system objects, use one of the following:

• *JOBD: Tells the job to get its attributes from the job description.

• *USRPRF: Tells the job to get its attributes from the user's user profile.

• *SYSVAL: Tells the job to get its attributes from a system value.

• *CURRENT: Tells the job to get its attributes from the job issuing the Submit Job (SBMJOB) command.

• *WRKSTN: Tells the job to get its attributes from the workstation with the job (interactive jobs only).
