Explanation

The ?STARTTIME command assigns a start time to a queued job. This command can be used whether or not the job already has a start time. If the job reaches the front of the queue and the current time is not greater than or equal to the specified start time, the job retains its position at the head of the queue. Refer to the START command for a definition of <time>.

The CONTROLLER selects the first job in the queue whose start time is less than or equal to the current time as the next job to be run from that queue. For further information on the handling of jobs in queues, refer to the STARTTIME command in the System Commands Reference Manual.

For more information on the STARTTIME command syntax, refer to the System Commands Operations Guide.
