STREAM
STREAM
Spools batch jobs or data from a session or job. The optional time-related parameters of the
STREAM command may be used to schedule jobs.
The time-related parameters are ignored when the STREAM command is applied to the
DATA command, however.

STREAM[ filename][ ,char]
[ ;AT=timespec] [ ;DAY={ day-of-week day-of-month days-until-month}]
[ ;DATE=datespec] [ ;IN=[ days[ ,[ hours] [ ,minutes] ] ] ]
[JOBQ=queuename]
Parameters
filename The Editor (ASCII) file containing the commands of the job. The first
character of the first record is assumed to be the replacement character for
the expected colon (:) that identifies MPE/iX commands. The user must
have READ and LOCK access or EXECUTE access.
queuename The name of the queue into which the job must logon. If no queuename is
specified the default system job queue will be used. If queuename is
specified it takes precedence over a job queuename in the JOB statement
of the file being streamed.
char Character used in place of colon (:) to identify MPE/iX commands within
the input file. When the input file is entered on a device configured to
accept jobs or sessions, this character can be any ASCII special
(nonalphanumeric) character except a colon. Default is an exclamation
point (!).
AT Absolute time specification.
timespec Time specification. This is the absolute time of day in the format
HH:MM where HH is the hour of the day (0<=HH<=24) and MM is the
minutes of the hour (0<=MM<=60).
If DAY and DATE are not specified, then:
timespec < NOW-> JOB LOGON TOMORROW
timespec > NOW-> JOB LOGON TODAY
timespec = NOW-> JOB LOGON IMMEDIATELY
