RNMJOBJS Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Rename Job using Job Scheduler (RNMJOBJS) command allows you to rename a job.

Note: When referring to a job in this command, we are referring to an entry in Job Scheduler.

An entry in Job Scheduler is a user-defined name for commands or programs that you want to process at scheduled times and dates. Job Scheduler jobs (entries) are not OS/400 objects.

After renaming the job, you can change any or all of the associated parameters.

Note: No subordinate jobs for a group can exist to rename the sequence 1 job of the group.
