The DEMAND command forces immediate scheduling of a job into the CA Workload Automation CA 7® Edition request queue.
Jobs that do not have definable processing cycles can be scheduled in this manner.
Demand scheduling can also be used to force an early execution of jobs that have defined processing cycles
or to schedule jobs for the first time, before they have been defined in the database.

disable triggering (NTR), or bypass the database updating at the job completion.
SKP
Specifies this run of the job takes the place of the next scheduled run.
This value has the same effect as entering NXTCYC,SET=SKP.
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. NTR
Specifies normal triggering is disabled only for this run of the job. NDB
Allows a job to bypass all load processing at the job completion,
but allows other processing to proceed typically.
Note: Data set triggering is still in effect.

-
--stop (string)
-
(Optional)Defines the clock time after which the job is not repeated.
STOP is ignored if INTERVAL is not specified.
If both COUNT and STOP are specified, the job stops repeating when either the COUNT reaches zero or the STOP time is reached, whichever comes first.

Default:
1439 minutes (24 hours minus 1 minute) after the submit time

-
--time (string)
-
(Optional)Defines a submit time-of-day requirement for the job.
If the format is used with a +, the submit time is calculated from the current time, adding the specified number of hours and minutes.
If the + is used, the DATE keyword must be omitted.
Limits:
+ is optional
hh= 1 through 2 numeric characters from 0 to 23
mm= 2 numeric characters from 00 to 59

No (unless DATE is used, if so, specify DOTM or TIME (hhmm format). Also required if TYPE=CLOCK is specified.
-
--type (string)
-
(Optional)TYPE=RES specifies the job is being scheduled in restart/rerun status.
TYPE=CLOCK, START, or END controls how the submit time requirement is calculated for repeating jobs.
When TYPE=RES the job is put into the request queue with a restart requirement.
The job is not submitted before the CA WA CA 7 Edition restart is done.
The output networks are scheduled, but input requirements checking is bypassed.
TYPE=CLOCK, START, or END is ignored if INTERVAL is not specified.
With TYPE=CLOCK, the interval is added to the previous iteration's submit time requirement to determine the new submit time requirement.
With TYPE=START and END the interval is added to the previous iteration's last (most recent) start and end time,
respectively, to determine the new submit time requirement. TYPE is required when INTERVAL is specified.
Limits:
RES, CLOCK, START, or END
