3.1	Starting date
Use starting date: delayed execution if validation. The profile remains inactive as long as the current date/hour does not overrun the reference date/hour.
Date or Time: the date or time value entered may be partial. The "*" character used within a field (mm, dd or yy) corresponds to any value or the don't care condition. The partial date/time facility allows periodic occurrences to be taken into account.

Use global link date: switching to the execution of a next profile if validation. The next profile can be located in an other directory and is launched at the end of the current profile execution if the current date/hour has overrun the reference date/hour.
Date or Time: the date or time value entered may be partial. The "*" character used within a field (mm, dd or yy) corresponds to any value or the don't care condition. The partial date/time facility allows periodic occurrences to be taken into account.
