RE: Scheduled Jobs on jobq

That is how it works. I used to schedule some jobs that the operator had to run (release) on New Year's day. I wanted to make sure they did not get released at any time prior to that so I set SCDDATE(0101yy) SCDTIME(080000) HOLD(*YES). When 8am rolled around, the jobs would go to a HLD status. Then, the operator could follow my instructions to release them manually as needed.

And, yes, they will survive an IPL and run immediately upon system availability if the date/time has passed. Experienced this many times after IPL'ing to apply PTF's in the evening.

From another link

At the scheduled time, the job is released from the job queue. The job's status changes from scheduled (SCD) to released (RLS), unless the job is held (SCDHLD), in which case it changes from scheduled to held (HLD).

If you search InfoCenter on SBMJOB and look at the SCDDATE parm and the link about submitting a job once the pieces start to come together, at least to me unless I'm missing something :)

Scheduled Job: The system checks to determine if any scheduled times have passed while the system was not available. If a scheduled job with a passed time is found, the job’s status is updated.
