JBDEP, JBPRE and JBSUC – Dependencies
JBDEP
is not a supported statement
for JBSTART
, because JBSTART
allows
dependencies in both directions. JBDEP
is
replaced by JBPRE
to define predecessors and
by JBSUC
to define successors.
Both JBPRE
and JBSUC
have
a suffix of either -INT
or -EXT
to
define whether this was originally an internal or external dependency,
as the selection criteria can be managed differently for each by using
the INTLINK
and EXTLINK
keywords
of the JBSTART
statements respectively.
For example, JBPRE-INT
describes an internal
predecessor, and JBSUC-EXT
describes an external
successor.
Both JBPRE
and JBSUC
have
a positional first argument of the job name of the dependency. If
the operation being referred to has no job name, then -BLANK
is
presented by LISTJOB
. If the operation being
referred to does not exist -MISSING
is presented
by LISTJOB
.
For JBPRE
, the remaining keywords are identical
to ADDEP
. For JBSUC
the
keywords are similar to ADDEP
, with the difference
that the PRE
prefix is replaced by SUC
.
