In this program you create batch job streams and interactive job streams. A batch job stream can, for example, be a night job, executing the Print invoice and Print invoice journal programs. An interactive job stream could be used to control which company the user will automatically be signed on to.

Selection fields
Work with job control, Headers (ASGD02904)
On this panel you define the header information.
- Program
- Enter a valid batch program name or a job stream name from the Batch program table.
The *SETUP program is a predefined interactive job stream which is used to control what will happen when a user signs on to the system. You can, for example, define which company the user will automatically be signed on to. There might also be other interactive job streams defined in the system, called *SETUPxx, where xx is the company code. Those job streams can be used to define what will happen after the user selects a company to work with. You could, for example, define which library should be placed first on the library list, that the mailbox should be displayed directly when the user signs on to the system, etc.
- User
- If you enter a valid user from the Work with DC1 user profiles file, the batch program, or the job stream, can only be executed by that user. If you enter *ALL, all users in the system are allowed to execute the batch program or job stream. You also have the possibility of entering *ALL_xx (where xx = Company code), allowing the possibility to add Job control records for batch programs on company level (i.e. set up defaults per company regarding, e.g., JOBQ).
- Batch type
- Displays the code for the batch program or job stream you are adding. 1 means batch program, 2 means batch job stream and 3 means interactive job stream. All standard DC1 batch programs are defined as 1.
