Reporting an operation as ended-in-error

The scheduler automatically reports jobs and started tasks that fail with E (ended-in-error) status. You can manually report operations as ended-in-error on any type of workstation. In these circumstances, you must decide what the error status signifies. The advantage of reporting the operation as ended-in-error is that a problem is highlighted. The scheduler puts the operation in the ended-in-error list, which you should review regularly so that error-recovery action can be taken.

To manually report an operation as ended-in-error, enter the N-E row command beside the operation. The scheduler then prompts you for an error code. It is good practice to reserve some error codes for specific error situations.

Setting the status of a started operation to E (error), or to any other status, does not cancel the job.
