Can I add a custom selectable menu item to the GUI?

You can add your own selections to the EnterpriseSCHEDULE MOTIF GUI so you can perform custom actions on a job by selecting this item. To do this, select Job menu additions from the Options menu in the MOTIF GUI. Select both Job Control and Update data buttons and enter the text you want to see in the menu under Menu Text. Next, enter the command using 'p1' that you want to perform on the job. For example to put the job into the "Hold in Queue" state so that the job goes into the hold state when it is submitted, enter:

   Menu Text: Hold job
   DCL command: $SCHEDULE MODIFY 'p1' /SUBMIT=HOLD

Click on OK and then right click on the job. You will see the menu item which can be selected to put the job in Hold.
