late (type: str)
Late={NO|YES}

Specifies whether a notification occurs when the job becomes late.

The value that is specified here overrides the value that is coded on the job definition MAINID field. The name must be one of the following values:

ALL

Specifies all CPUs are acceptable for executing the job.

SYn

n defines the CPU to which the job is being redirected. The value of n can range from 1 to 7.

Less than or equal to

NE

It is reflected on output from LJOB and LLOCK commands as if NXTCYC,SET=SKP was used. This parameter is invalid if the job has no schedule. SET=SKP has no impact on repeating jobs that are already in the queues.
