IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Thank you for submitting this idea. While we agree it would be a nice option, it is lower priority and did not make the cut.
It would be useful when submitting jobs to batch so you could start a servicejob followed by start debug.
We already have Schedule date and time parameters on SBMJOB, which is similar to this request, although you would need to retrieve the current date and do your own calculation to add the delay time. Alternately, if calling SBMJOB from a CL program, you could use the DLYJOB function to delay the job for some number of seconds before issuing the SBMJOB command.
While this request would be a nice option, I'm not sure it is high enough priority to make the cut for new enhancements.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Power Systems
Product - IBM i
Component - Work Management and Messaging
Operating system - IBM i
Source - None
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Power Systems
Product - IBM i
Component - Languages - CL (Control Language)
Operating system - IBM i
Source - None
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM addresses this requirement and view this as a low requirement. This is a new ease-of-use feature.
