OpenVMS 7.3 submitting batch job with /after= minutes

[kiger]

I am looking for the correct parameter setting for submitting a batch job that will resubmit itself after 30 minutes. On the older version of VMS we were able to do this with /AFTER="+:30" this is not working on ver7.3. Anyone know that correct usage??

Greetings,

Have you looked through the HELP facility? It does give examples.

Also, here's a link explaining what can happen with timing drift:

We ended up calling HP (OpenVMS support) and there seems to be a bug. We can submit a batch job in hours and minutes but not minutes alone. I'll post back when we hear back from HP.

Okay, so I was having a real bad day... it turned out to be real simple. We have a cluster environment and we are in the daylight savings time zone. I had the first node set up to automatically reset the time, but not the second node. Once I reset the time for the cluster the command to submit a batch job with the /after="+30" worked.
