Specifies when you want to run the job step. If not specified, the current date and time are used.
The syntax is:
startdate = date time
date is expressed as MM/DD/YYYY, and time is expressed as HH:mm(:ss).
For example, if you want the job to run on August 28th, 2000 at 1:30 PM, issue:
startdate = 08/28/2000 13:30
If you specify a start date that is in the future, your job is kept in the Deferred state until that start date.
