You can use the FS (Force Schedule) command to start jobs listed in a job queue and to start a task or job listed in the schedule mix.

Syntax

Explanation

<mix number list> FS

Specifies that the jobs or tasks in the mix number list are to be unconditionally started as long as enough memory is available. If not enough memory is available, the task or job remains scheduled and the following message appears at the ODT:

INSUFFICIENT MEMORY TO FULFILL FS REQUEST

Refer to the S (Scheduled Mix Entries) and HS (Hold Schedule) commands for related discussions on scheduling.

You can also use the FS command to force the start of a job residing in a job queue. You can use FS to override any STARTTIME or FETCH statements in a Work Flow Language (WFL) job. Refer to the SQ (Show Queue) and ML (Mix Limit) commands for information on jobs residing in job queues.
