Processing Background Jobs
You can submit background jobs for processing if your installation
authorizes you to do so. This authorization is recorded in the system
with your user attributes. If you have this authorization, the system
lets you use the four commands (SUBMIT, STATUS, CANCEL and OUTPUT) that
control the processing of background jobs. You can use those commands
to submit a background job, to display the status of a background
JOD,
to cancel execution of a background job, and to control the output of a
background job.
SUBMITTING BACKGROUND JOBS
Before you submit a background job with the SUBMIT command you can use
the EDIT command to create a data set (or a member of a partitioned data
set) that contains the job or jobs you want to submit. Each job
consists of Job Control Language (JCL) statements and of program
instructions and/or data.
The JCL Statements required for a job must conf orm to Systeml360
Operating System (MVT) standards. They are described in the
publication,
