Batch job from the queue file

However, the user has the option of having the statements EXPORT, IMPORT, LIST, RESTORE and SAVE, as well as the statements for managing the directory file (POOL, PURGE), processed by means of a batch process. This is done by specifying NOW=NO in the appropriate statement. The batch process then receives an ARCHIVE sequence number with the identifier L.

However, an identifier is assigned only if no queue job has been created under the user job. If several batch processes are created under the same user job, these are stored under a single ARCHIVE sequence number.

The batch process is placed in the queue file (ARCHIVE.LATER). You can output it by means of the STATUS statement.

You can start the batch processes in the queue file later with the PROCESS statement or delete them with the DELETE statement.

In order to process the PROCESS statement, an ENTER file is created and a batch job is started. Two or more statements entered in different ARCHIVE calls but under the same job are processed in a single batch job.

In the ENTER file, ARCHIVE is called with

/START-ARCHIVE

%  ARC0009 ARCHIVE TERMINATED

(1)	The user calls ARCHIVE.
(2)	A save run is started with the FILES and SAVE statements and, by default, processed by a subtask. The next entry cannot be made until the run has been processed. The directory was created previously.
(3)	A further save run is created with the specification NOW=NO and is written to the queue file L.200810.103931.
(4)	The STATUS statement shows the ARCHIVE process that has been created.
(5)	The user first terminates ARCHIVE, and then terminates the user job with /EXIT-JOB.
(6)	The user starts ARCHIVE again under a new user job.
(7)	The user creates a further save run with NOW=NO.
(8)	Since the second save run was created under another user job, the STATUS statement now shows two ARCHIVE processes.
(9)	The user starts the first save run from the queue file by specifying its sequence number. A batch job is created.
(10)	STATUS TYPE=ACTIVE shows that a process has been started.
(11)	The STATUS statement (with the default value TYPE=LATER) shows that the previously started process is no longer in the queue file.
(12)	The user deletes the remaining process with the DELETE statement.
(13)	The STATUS statement no longer shows any entries.
(14)	The user terminates ARCHIVE.
