If one wanted to be fancy, they could set a variable with the value of
HPTIME when the job logs on.  This variable could be used as the value for
the "AT=" parameter in the STREAM command.  This wouldn't require the
jobstream to be edited if the desired time to be streamed changes.  It will
restream at the same time that the original job is streamed.
Sorry I don't have an example.  If I tried to come up with one on the fly,
the HP guru's on this list would cut me to shreds.  My command (no pun
intended) of HP variable substitution is limited to; 1) find and example, 2)
plaigerize and modify, 3) fix the mistakes I've made.  Any example from
quick thinking HP guru's would be appreciated.
