Submitting a job once

When you need to run a job once, whether immediately or at a scheduled date and time, use the Submit Job (SBMJOB) command. This method places the job on the job queue immediately.

To submit a batch job once, use the character-based interface.

Command: Submit Job (SBMJOB)

The SBMJOB command submits a job to a batch job queue by specifying a job description and by specifying a CL command or request data, or specifying routing data to run a program. If you want to run a single CL command in a the batch job, use the CMD parameter on SBMJOB, which does syntax checking and allows prompting.

Example: In the following example, the SBMJOB command submits a job named WSYS, using the job description QBATCH, to the job queue QBATCH. The CMD parameter gives the CL command that will run in the job.
