Issue/Introduction

Message SCNP-11 is not being issued for some jobs that are late in WA CA7 Edition.

Environment

WA CA7 Edition

Resolution

The SCNP-11 JOB xxxxxxxx (nnnn) SYS=xxxxxxxx *** IS LATE *** message is produced for jobs that are late in CA 7.  

If a job becomes late when it is in the REQUEST queue, a SCNP-11 message is produced.  If the job is in the READY or ACTIVE queue when it becomes late, the SCNP-11 message may or may not be issued, depending on the value of REPRMPT=nn on the SCHEDULE statement in the Initialization file.  If REPRMPT=0, re-prompting is turned off including jobs that 'go late' in any other queue except the REQUEST queue. 

Note that the REPRMPT=nn value can be changed with the SSCAN command (SSCAN,REPRMPT=nn) and can be displayed by issuing the SSCAN command with no keywords.

If the LATEPROMPT=LATE is specified on the OPTIONS statement in the Initialization file, jobs defined in DB.1 Job definition panel with PROMPTS: N will never generate the SCNP-11 message in any queue.. 

Additionally, the Automated Recovery Facility (ARF) late type exception conditions rely on this prompting . If the SCNP-11 message is not generated, the LATE condition is not recognized by ARF and the ARFSET rule will not be invoked.  For ARF type LA checking, the late condition is only recognized if the SCNP-11 message is generated while the job is in the REQUEST queue.  The ARFSET rule will not be invoked if the SCNP-11 message is generated while the job is in the READY or ACTIVE queue.
