Options that apply only to jobs

These options apply only to operations that represent jobs:

JOB CLASS (no default)

Specify the JES input class of the job that the operation represents. The job class that you specify here is only for documentation purposes. It need not correspond to the actual class of your job, although it is good practice if it does.

HOLD/RELEASE (default: Y)

Use this option to control held jobs that are not submitted by HCL Workload Automation for Z.

If you place jobs that are not submitted by HCL Workload Automation for Z in HOLD status (for example, by specifying TYPRUN=HOLD on the job card), and HOLD/RELEASE is set to Y, HCL Workload Automation for Z releases them according to its schedule when all dependencies are satisfied and when the requested resources are available.

If HOLD/RELEASE is set to N, HCL Workload Automation for Z releases a held job immediately without reference to its schedule.

Note: Specifying a HOLD/RELEASE value Y for a job operation does not cause HCL Workload Automation for Z to put the job into HOLD status. If the job is already in HOLD status, however, HCL Workload Automation for Z releases it at the scheduled time.
