Schedule a Job??

[Guest.Visitor]

Hi I am trying to schedule a job to run using WRKJOBSCDE. I want to shedule it to run on this sunday (Oct.29,2000) at 2 AM. I wrote a small CL program that will change the value of QHour for the end of daylight savings time. I am just not sure what to fill in for the prompts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running V4R4. Thanks Frank

Frank The parameter command to run is the call to your CL program. The frequency parameter is *ONCE, the schedule date is 10/29/00, the schedule day is *NONE, the schedule time is 02:00:00, and the save parameter is *YES, so that you will have it for OCT of 2001. After you enter the parameters and press enter the job should have a SCD status. I have a job that does the same thing, works great. Jim

Hey Thanks James!! Worked like a charm. I was trying to put in schedule date and schedule day. I didn't like it. I guess you can only use one or the other. Tried looking for some info on the IBM site but came up empty. Thanks again Frank

Frank, Use the command ADDJOBSCDE. For the command parm type this: CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QHOUR) VALUE('01') HTH Scott

Would this work? ADDJOBSCDE JOB(MYJOB) CMD(CALL PGM(MYPGM)) FRQ(*ONCE) SCDDATE('10/29/2000') SCDTIME('02:00:00')

Isn't there a system value that will perform this function for you, without any programming? Dave

David, No. Perhaps you're thinking of QUTCOFFSET (time offset from GMT). Adjusting this will not adjust the system time. And while I'm mentioning QUTCOFFSET, if a system does observe Daylight Saving Time and it uses QUTCOFFSET, make sure you change this system value too on Oct 29th, besides just the hour. Chris
