In the database environment, you can schedule any command line expressions, as well as paragraphs, sentences, remotes and procs. In the Unix environment, shell commands and scripts can be scheduled. In Windows, batch files and console commands can also be easily scheduled. Scheduling requests can also update a user return code so you can confirm the scheduling request from your programs.

They are especially useful for background processes, so that the goings on of the job can be inspected. The system administrator decides how long to store these COMO files, and you can have an individual job store its COMO files for a longer or shorter period of time than the time the system administrator selects. Each display of a COMO file also lists the date and time the job was activated.
