RGSTART – Run cycle group common details (RGCOM segment)

Use the RGSTART control statement to signal the start of a run cycle group definition.

After an RGSTART control statement there are one or more RGRUN control statements, one for every run cycle of the run cycle group.

The ADRULE control statement must immediately follow the RGRUN statement. See ADRULE for details.

Note: The RGSTART statement is available only starting from HCL Workload Automation for Z V9.1, or later.
