Issue/Introduction
How does CA 7 calculate LATE conditions for jobs in the queue and for LA ARF definitions?
Resolution
A job will be marked LATE in CA 7's queues if it has not started by its deadline start time (for the purpose of this article we'll call it DSTM) or completed by its due-out time (DOTM).
DSTM is calculated as DOTM - CLOCK-TIME (from DB.1 Screen) - 5 minutes unless CLOCK-TIME on the DB.1 screen is 2359 and then DSTM is DOTM - LDTM - 5 minutes.
If you have LATEPROMPT=LATE on the OPTIONS statement in the initialization file and PROMPT=N on the DB.1 screen for a job, that job will never have a LATE status in the queue.
If you have an LA ARF definition, the ARF Response is executed only if the initial prompt (SCNP-11) occurs when the job goes LATE in the Request queue.
