.SH NAME
pbs_movejob - move a PBS batch job to a new destination
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <pbs_error.h>
.br
#include <pbs_ifl.h>
.sp
.B int pbs_movejob(\^int\ connect, char\ *job_id, char\ *destination, char\ *extend\^)

.SH DESCRIPTION
Issue a batch request to move a job to a new destination.
The job is removed from the present queue and instantiated in a new
queue.
.LP
A
.I "Move Job"
batch request is generated and sent to the server over the connection
specified by
.I connect 
which is the return value of \f3pbs_connect\f1().
.LP
The 
.I job_id
parameter identifies which job is to be moved; it is specified in the form:
.RS 4
.I "sequence_number.server"
.RE
.LP
The
.I destination
parameter specifies the new destination for the job.  It is specified as:
.RS 4
.I [queue][@server] .
.RE
If
.I destination
is a null pointer or a null string,
the destination will be the default queue at the current server.  If
.I destination
specifies a queue but not a server, the destination will be the named queue
at the current server.  If
.I destination
specifies a server but not a queue, the destination will be
the default queue at the named server.  If
.I destination
specifies both a queue and a server, the destination is that queue at that 
server.
.LP
A job in the
.B Running ,
.B Transiting ,
or
.B Exiting
state cannot be moved.
.LP
The parameter,
.I extend ,
is reserved for implementation-defined extensions.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
When the batch request generated by \f3pbs_movejob\f1()
function has been completed successfully by a batch server, the routine will
return 0 (zero).
Otherwise, a non zero error is returned.  The error number is also set
in pbs_errno.
