PURPOSE: To shorten the total time required for confirming the jobs which daily differ by designating the starting time and the executing order of jobs at a terminal and therefore omitting the need to recognize the jobs to be carried out by an operator.

CONSTITUTION: In a JOB/NET section the JOB or the NET to be processed is selected, and a processing member name is designated to a schedule file in regard of a JOB/NET name. A fact whether a job should be carried out or not every day or on a specific day of the week, etc., in regard of the start designation. Then a fact whether the job should be carried out or not the precedent day of a holiday if the due executing day is identical with a holiday in a holiday section. Furthermore the stating time is designated for the JOB or the NET in a starting time section. Under such conditions, a JCL is automatically generated so that the JOB is carried out just with extraction of the JCL equivalent to the relevant day out of the schedule file when the JOB is designated. Meanwhile a second screen 2 is displayed with designation of the NET.
