SUBMIT [qualifier[s]] filespec[s] [/filequalifier[s]] The SUBMIT command submits one or more files for processing on a batch processor. The files are grouped together into a single QMG batch job and will be executed one after the other without interruption. The optional queuename allows you to submit your job to a queue other than the default BATCH. The optional jobname allows you to give your print job a name. If you do not specify jobname, the name of the first file in the job is used as the job name. The following command qualifiers are available: /AFTER:(dd-mmm-yy hh:mm) /[NO]HOLD /[NO]LOGFILE /[NO]PRINT:queue /PRIORITY:n /[NO]RESTART The following file qualifiers are available: /[NO]DELETE /[NO]TRANSFER 2 AFTER SUBMIT/AFTER: (dd-mmm-yy hh:mm) files The /AFTER qualifier allows you to specify that the processing of your job should be delayed until after a specified date and time. The job will not run immediately at that time, but will become eligible to be processed, and will compete with other jobs at that time. You may specify either the date, or the time, or both. If you do not specify a date, the current date is assumed. To specify the date without the time, omit the hh and mm values, but still include the colons. Examples: SUBMIT/AFTER:(18:00)BIGFILE.BAT ! process the file after 6 pm SUBMIT/AFTER:(1-APR-82)JOKE.BAT ! process the file on April 1, 1982 2 DELETE SUBMIT files/[NO]DELETE The /DELETE qualifier specifies that the specified file is to be deleted after processing. The default is /NODELETE. In the following example, only FILE2.TXT will be deleted after processing, Example: SUBMIT FILE1.BAT,FILE2.BAT/DELETE,FILE3.BAT In the next example, only FILE1 and FILE2 will be deleted. SUBMIT/DELETE FILE1.BAT, FILE2.BAT, FILE3.BAT/NODELETE 2 HOLD SUBMIT/[NO]HOLD files The /HOLD qualifier specifies that your job is to be held (made ineligible for printing). You must then release the job to allow it to be processed. See HELP/RELEASE. 2 LOGFILE SUBMIT/[NO]LOGFILE files The /LOGFILE qualifier specifies whether or not a logfile of the job should be generated. The logfile tracks all the action in the batch job. The default is /LOGFILE. 2 PRINT SUBMIT/[NO]PRINT files SUBMIT/PRINT:queue files The /PRINT qualifier specifies whether or not the batch log should be printed. If you specify /NOPRINT, the logfile will not be printed, but rather, will be placed in your directory. All output of the batch job not contained in the batch log file (spooled MACRO listings, etc.) will be printed as separate print jobs. If you specify /PRINT, the logfile will be queued to be printed. All output of the batch job not contained in the batch log file (spooled MACRO listings, etc.) will be attached to the batch log and printed with it as a single print job. If you want your batch log to go to a queue other than PRINT, you can specify another queue on the /PRINT qualifier. The default is /PRINT:PRINT. 2 PRIORITY SUBMIT/PRIOITY:n files The /PRIORITY qualifier allows you to specify a priority for your batch job. This priority does not specify the priority at which the batch job actually runs, but is simply used to determine position in the queue. Privileged users may specify any priority between 1 and 250. Non-privileged users may only specify priorities between 1 and 150. The default is /PRIORITY:50. /PRIORITY:0 is the same as /PRIORITY:50. 2 RESTART SUBMIT/[NO]RESTART files The /RESTART qualifier specifies whether or not your job is to be restarted from the beginning if it is interrupted. When you specify /RESTART, if your job is stopped for some reason, and then started, it will start over again from the beginning. When you specify /NORESTART, the default, if your job is stopped for some reason, and then started, it will be held. 2 TRANSFER SUBMIT/[NO]TRANSFER files The TRANSFER qualifier specifies whether or not the system should make temporary copies of batch command files submitted from a volume on a private device. The default is /TRANSFER. This permits you to dismount the volume and deallocate the device as soon as the prompt returns after the SUBMIT command. If you specify /NOTRANSFER, no copies will be made and you must keep the volume mounted and the device allocated until the batch processing is complete.
