Creating Tables in Control-m

Creating Tables

Tables can be created in any of the following ways:

• by specifying the new table name in the entry panel and pressing Enter
The name of a new job scheduling definition for the new table can also
be specified.

• by using the SELECT command to specify the new table name in the
Table List screen and pressing Enter

Upon entering the create table request using either of the above methods, a
skeletal job scheduling definition (that is, one with most fields not filled in) is
displayed in the Job Scheduling Definition screen.

Fill in and save this job scheduling definition. The table is created and the job
scheduling definition is the first and only job scheduling definition in the Job
list of the table. As additional job scheduling definitions are created in the
table (described below), they are added to the Job list.

Upon exiting the Job List screen, if changes were made in at least
one job scheduling definition, an Exit Option window is displayed.
One field of the window displays the table name. This value can be
changed to a new table name. This creates a new table in which the
job scheduling definitions are saved.

Under ISPF, tables can also be created using online utility M5. This
method is described in “M5: Quick Schedule Definition Facility” on
page 2-250, and is not included in this discussion.
