/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.
