Command List V
Commands HEADOFF thru LISTF
is not supplied in the command syntax, the STREAM command will prompt
you for it if:
• The STREAM command is invoked from a session.
• Neither $STDIN nor $STDLIST is redirected.
• The JOB command is a first level JOB command (it is not nested within a
second level STREAM command).
If the password is supplied in the command syntax it must be preceded by
a slash (/).
cpusecs Maximum CPU time allowed job, in seconds. When this limit is reached,
the job is aborted. This must be a value from 1 to 32,767. To specify no
limit, enter a question mark or UNLIM, or omit this parameter. Default is a
system-configured job limit.
BS, CS, DS, or ES The execution priority queue that the command interpreter uses for your
session. This is also the default priority for all programs executed within
the session. BS is the highest priority; ES is the lowest. If you specify a
priority that exceeds the highest priority permitted for your account or
user name by the system, MPE/iX assigns the highest priority possible
below BS. DS and ES are intended primarily for batch jobs; their use for
sessions is generally discouraged. DS is the default and the maximum
priority, unless modified by system management.
NOTE Use care in assigning the BS queue. Processes in this priority class can lock
out other processes.
For information on the guidelines for these priority queues, refer to the TUNE
command in this chapter.
inputpriority or HIPRI Determines the input priority of the job. The inputpriority
parameter is the relative input priority used in checking against access
restrictions imposed by the jobfence. The
inputpriority parameter takes
effect at logon time and must be from 1 (lowest priority) to 13 (highest
priority). If you supply a value less than or equal to the current jobfence
set by the system operator, the job is denied access. Default is 8.
The HIPRI option is used for two different purposes when logging on. It
can be used to override the system jobfence, or it can be used to override
the job limit. When using the HIPRI option to override the jobfence, the
system first checks to see if you have system manager (SM) or system
operator (OP) capability. If you have either of these capabilities, you are
logged on and your INPRI defaults to the system's jobfence and execution
limit. If you do not have either of these capabilities, the system attempts to
log you on using INPRI=13 and succeeds if the jobfence is 12 or less, and if
the job limit is not exceeded. In attempting to override the job limit (to log
on after the maximum number of jobs set by the operator has been
reached), you can specify HIPRI, but to do so you must have either SM or
OP capability. The system does not override the job limit automatically.
