CL Command Reference - SBMDBJOB
CL Command List > SBMDBJOB Reference
Description:
The Submit Database Jobs (SBMDBJOB) command allows you to submit jobs to job queues so they can be run as batch jobs. The input stream is read either from a physical database file or from a logical database file that has a single-record format. This command allows you to specify the name of this database file and its member, the name of the job queue to be used, and to decide whether jobs being submitted can be displayed by the Work with Submitted Jobs (WRKSBMJOB) command
A Submit Database Jobs operation reads the file once and ends when the end-of-file is read or when an End Input (ENDINP) command is encountered. The ENDINP command (a delimiter) is not recognized if it is within an inline file that ends with characters that are not default ending characters (as specified in the ENDCHAR parameter of the Data (DATA) command). The SBMDBJOB operation can be canceled either by canceling the request from the system request menu or by canceling the job in which the process is running.
In contrast to a spool reader started with the Start Database Reader (STRDBRDR) command, the SBMDBJOB command operates in the same process as the requesting function and does not do syntax checking on the input stream.
Restriction: The specified database file either must consist of single-field records and must have an arrival sequence access path, or it must be a standard database source file.
Examples:
SBMDBJOB FILE(QGPL/BILLING)
This command submits jobs using input from the database file named BILLING, which is in the QGPL library. The first member in the BILLING file contains the input stream to be processed. The default system-supplied job queue QBATCH is used.
