day-of-month Day-of-month. The integers 1 through 31. It indicates the calendar day of
the month. If day-of-month is greater than or equal to the current
day-of-month, the current month is indicated. If day-of-month is less than
the current day-of-month, the next month is indicated. An error message is
generated if the day-of-month does not correspond to the month (for
example, if 31 is entered for February). If day-of-month is omitted, the
current date is used.
days-until- month Days until the end of the month. The negative integers -31 through -1.
It indicates the calendar day from the end of the specified month on which
the job will run. For example, a -1 value represents the last day of the
month. If the specified day from the end of the month indicates a day
earlier than the current day, the next month is assumed. For example, if
today is the seventh day from the end of the month and a -8 value is
entered, the job is scheduled for the eighth day from the end of the next
month.

Operation Notes
The STREAM command allows you to initiate jobs while in an interactive session by
constructing your job from your terminal or by reading records from a disk or tape file.
When the job is read, MPE/iX spools it onto a disk file, assigns it a job number, and
processes it independently as an entity completely separate from your session. In the
meantime, MPE/iX allows you to continue with your session. You can specify the queue
name into which a particular job should go. The name specified overrides the queue name
specified in the JOB command.
You can initiate jobs in this way only if the system operator, or a user who has been given
operator capabilities, has enabled the MPE/iX STREAM facility by entering the STREAMS
console command. The STREAMS console command also specifies a streaming device, which
to MPE/iX appears to be the source of your job input, regardless of the device you actually
