/AFTER=time /NOAFTER Requests that the specified job be held until after a specific time. If the specified time has already passed, the job is scheduled for processing. You can specify either absolute time or a combination of absolute and delta times. For complete information on specifying time values, see the OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date. NOTE Releasing or rescheduling a job before its submission time is not supported for security reasons. Therefore, if you set the system time to a future time and submit a job on a node where the queue manager is running, you cannot release or reschedule that job back to the present time if you reset the system time. For example, you can set the system time to a future time of January 1, 2020 and submit a job to run on January 9, 2020; however, if you set the system time back to the present time and try to release the job to the present time, the job will be released to January 1, 2020. This situation impacts the following qualifiers: /AFTER, /NOHOLD, and /RELEASE. To specify /AFTER for a job on hold, you must also specify /NOHOLD in order to cause the job to be held only until the specified time. Jobs can be released before the specified time by using the /NOAFTER or /RELEASE qualifier with the SET ENTRY command.
