Define the dates when the jobnet is to be executed. You can define up to 144 execution start dates. If you omit this parameter in the root jobnet, the system assumes "1, en".

N: When defining multiple jobnet execution start dates, specify a rule number. You can set 0 to 144.

This number corresponds to the rule numbers for the execution start time, start delay time, end delay time and appropriate upper-level jobnet, and the rule numbers for the processing cycle, shift method and maximum shift days.

If you specify sd=0,ud, you can make all the items undefined.
yyyy: Specify the calendar year containing the date when the jobnet is executed. You can set 1994 to 2036. The default is the year containing the date when the jobnet was registered for execution.

If you have defined the execution start date by an open or closed day (sd=* or sd=@), you cannot specify this parameter. If you specify this parameter, the schedule is calculated assuming that one week is equal to seven open days or seven closed days; however, we recommend that you specify the processing cycle on a daily basis. A good example would be 7,d, instead of 1,w.
d: Sets the unit for the processing cycle as a day. For n, you can set 1 to 31 (days).

Define the schedule of the jobnet according to the days from the start time. The default is no.

N: Specify the rule number of the date when the jobnet is executed. You can set 1 to 144. The default is 1.
no: Does not use a schedule according to the days from the start time.
be: Replaces the date of jobnet execution by an open day preceding the start date (the execution schedule date fixed by specifying a processing cycle or setting substitution).
af: Replaces the date of jobnet execution by an open day following the start date (the execution schedule date fixed by specifying a processing cycle or setting substitution).
db: Replaces the date of jobnet execution by the day preceding the start date (the execution schedule date fixed by specifying a processing cycle or setting substitution). Because closed days are not skipped, the jobnet might be executed on a closed day.
da: Replaces the date of jobnet execution by the day following the start date (the execution schedule date fixed by specifying a processing cycle or setting substitution). Because closed days are not skipped, the jobnet might be executed on a closed day.
n: Specify the number of start days. You can set 1 to 31 (days). The default is 1. If you specify cftd=no, this item is invalid.
N: Specify the maximum number of shift days. You can set 1 to 31 (days). The default is 10. If you specify cftd=no, cftd=db, or cftd=da, this item is invalid.

Define the expiration date of a defined schedule. By default, the system does not check the expiration date.

yyyy: Specify the calendar year of the expiration date. You can set 1994 to 2036.
mm: Specify the month of the expiration date. You can set 1 to 12.
dd: Specify the day of the expiration date. You can set 1 to 31.

rg=n;

Define saved generations of the jobnet. You can, however, enable the system setting option to increase the number of generations to up to 999. The default is 1. You can specify this parameter only for the root jobnet. For a nested jobnet, the system inherits a value defined for the root jobnet.

pr=n;

Define the default for the priority of jobnet job execution. You can set 1 to 5. The lowest priority of execution is 1, while the highest priority is 5. The default value depends on the definition of upper-level jobnets.

The value specified in this parameter is used if the pr parameter is not specified for the jobs in the jobnet. The system assumes a value of 1 as the priority in job execution if this parameter is not specified for any of the upper-level jobnets (including the highest level) and if the ni parameter is not specified.

If this and the ni parameter are specified together, the value of the second parameter will be valid.

ni=n;

Define the default for the priority of jobnet job execution. You can set -39 to 39. The specified value is replaced by the default for the priority of job execution in the pr parameter. The relationship is summarized below.

ni parameter settings	Default for the priority of job execution
11 to 39	5
1 to 10	4
0	3
-10 to -1	2
-39 to -11	1

The default value depends on the definition of upper-level jobnets.

The value specified in this parameter is used if the pr parameter is not specified for the jobs in the jobnet. The system assumes a value of 1 as the priority of job execution if this parameter is not specified for any of the upper-level jobnets (including the highest level) and if the pr parameter is not specified.

If this parameter is specified together with the pr parameter, the value of the parameter specified later will be effective.

ha={y|w|a|n};
