The SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NAME and SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER item codes can appear as many times as necessary in a single call to $SNDJBC; the set of characteristics so defined in the call completely replaces the set of characteristics defined by a prior call. The SJC$_NO_CHARACTERISTICS item code cancels all defined characteristics for the job or queue. By default, a queue or job has no defined characteristics.

The string can contain uppercase or lowercase characters (lowercase are converted to uppercase), numeric characters, dollar signs ($), and underscores (_). If the string is a logical name, SYS$SNDJBC translates it iteratively until the equivalence string is found or the number of translations allowed by the system has been performed. The maximum length of the final character string is 31 characters; spaces, tabs, and null characters are ignored.

For SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER, the buffer must contain a longword value in the range 0 to 127. This number identifies a characteristic.

SJC$_NO_CHARACTERISTICS is a Boolean item code.

(The following function codes are valid for SJC_CHARACTERISTIC_NAME item code:

SJC$_ALTER_JOB
SJC$_ALTER_QUEUE
SJC$_CREATE_JOB
SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE

SJC$_CHECKPOINT_DATA

Input value item code. It specifies the value of the DCL symbol BATCH$RESTART for a batch job that is restarted. The buffer must contain a string no longer than 255 characters; this string is the value of the symbol BATCH$RESTART.

(Valid for SJC$_BATCH_CHECKPOINT function code)

SJC$_NO_CHECKPOINT_DATA

Boolean item code. It cancels a previous specification of the BATCH$RESTART symbol; the SJC$_NO_CHECKPOINT_DATA item code also cancels a checkpoint in a print job so that the entire job is reprinted. By default, the BATCH$RESTART symbol is undefined.

(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_JOB function code)

SJC$_CLI

SJC$_NO_CLI

The SJC$_CLI item code is an input value item code. It is meaningful only for batch jobs. It specifies that the command language interpreter to be executed is SYS$SYSTEM:name.EXE, where name is a valid OpenVMS RMS file name. The buffer must specify a name string from 1 to 39 characters.

(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_JOB, SJC$_CREATE_JOB, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)

SJC$_CLOSE_QUEUE

The SJC$_CLOSE_QUEUE item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that jobs cannot be entered in the queue. If the queue is closed, you can specify the SJC$_OPEN_QUEUE item code to permit jobs to be entered in the queue. By default, the queue is open.

Whether a queue is open or closed is independent of any other queue states (such as paused, stalled, stopped).

(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_QUEUE, SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_START_QUEUE function codes)

SJC$_CPU_DEFAULT

SJC$_NO_CPU_DEFAULT

The SJC$_CPU_DEFAULT item code is an input value item code. It is meaningful only for batch execution queues. It specifies the default CPU time limit in 10-millisecond units. The buffer contains this longword value. The value 0 specifies unlimited CPU time. You can specify a value that represents up to 497 days of CPU time.

The SJC$_NO_CPU_DEFAULT item code is a Boolean item code. It is meaningful only for batch execution queues. It specifies that no default CPU time limit is to apply to the job. It is the default.

A CPU time limit for the process is included in each user record in the system user authorization file (UAF). You can also specify any or all of the following: a CPU time limit for individual jobs, a default CPU time limit for all jobs in a given queue, and a maximum CPU time limit for all jobs in a given queue. Table SYS-54 shows the action taken when you specify a value for SJC$_CPU_DEFAULT.

(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE function code)

SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NAME

SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NUMBER

The SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NAME and SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NUMBER item codes are input value item codes. They specify the default form for a specific output queue by name and by number, respectively.

When you specify a default form for an output queue, the queue uses the queue-specific default form, rather than the systemwide default form, to process any job that does not explicitly specify a form.

For SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NAME, the buffer must specify a form name. The string can contain uppercase or lowercase characters (lowercase are converted to uppercase), numeric characters, dollar signs ($), and underscores (_). If the string is a logical name, SYS$SNDJBC translates it iteratively until the equivalence string is found or the number of translations allowed by the system has been performed. The maximum length of the final character string is 31 characters; spaces, tabs, and null characters are ignored.

For SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NUMBER, the buffer must specify a longword value. You should use only one of these item codes to identify a default form for the queue.

SJC$_DELETE_FILE

SJC$_NO_DELETE_FILE

The SJC$_DELETE_FILE item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that a file should be deleted after the job completes. The file that is deleted is the batch or print file submitted for execution. You cannot specify this item code with the SJC$_ALTER_JOB function code, which alters the parameters for an already existing job; you can make a file deletion request only when a job is first submitted to the queue.

The SJC$_NO_DELETE_FILE item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that a file should not be deleted after execution of the job. It is the default. You can specify this item code with the SJC$_ALTER_JOB function code; this makes it possible to cancel a file deletion request that was made when the job was first submitted to the queue.

(Valid for SJC$_ADD_FILE, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)

SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE

Input value item code. When you specify the SJC$_ASSIGN_QUEUE function code, SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE specifies the name of the execution queue to which the logical queue is assigned. When you specify the SJC$_ABORT_JOB, SJC$_ALTER_JOB, or SJC$_MERGE_QUEUE function code, SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE specifies the name of the queue into which jobs are placed. By default, jobs remain in the original queue.

The string can contain uppercase or lowercase characters (lowercase are converted to uppercase), numeric characters, dollar signs ($), and underscores (_). If the string is a logical name, SYS$SNDJBC translates it iteratively until the equivalence string is found or the number of translations allowed by the system has been performed. The maximum length of the final character string is 31 characters; spaces, tabs, and null characters are ignored.

(Valid for SJC$_ABORT_JOB, SJC$_ALTER_JOB, SJC$_ASSIGN_QUEUE, and SJC$_MERGE_QUEUE function codes)
