Job Schedule

[pungkoy]

Hi...A user has asked me to schedule a job to run on the 15th of each month. I've tried to add a job schedule entry, but can't find how to run a job on the same day of each month. Is anyone knows how can I do this without creating a program?...

Thanks. PUNGKOY

Re: Job Schedule

Hi pungkoy:

Use a schedule code of "DATE" and fill in the dates

Schedule code . . . . . . . . *DATE
Dates of the year . . . . . . 0115 0215 0315 0415 0515 0615 0715
0815 0915 1015 1115 1215

Note: Dates are entered in job date format.

Best of Luck

Re: Job Schedule

HI GLS400,

Sorry for my ignorance but what command will I use to schedule this job, can't find the parameter that you were reffering in Job schedule...My OS version is V5r3 and we're planning to upgrade this in February...

Thanks again....PUNGKOY

Re: Job Schedule

Hi pungkoy:

1. GO JS
2. Work with jobs (option 1) then enter
3. option 2 (change) your job

I'm at V5R4......I'm not sure if Job scheduler changed between V5R4 and V5R3

Job name . . . . . . . . . . . TESTGLS Name
Group name . . . . . . . . . *NONE Name, *NONE
Group sequence . . . . . . . 0 Number
Application . . . . . . . . . *NONE Name, *NONE, F4 for list
Schedule code . . . . . . . . *DAILY Name, *DAILY, F4 for list Scheduled times . . . . . . . 0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00
0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00
Calendar . . . . . . . . . . . *NONE Name, *NONE, F4 for list
Holiday calendar . . . . . . . *NONE Name, *NONE, F4 for list
Fiscal calendar . . . . . . . *NONE Name, *NONE, F4 for list
Days . . . . . . . . . . . . . *SUN *MON *TUE *WED *THU *FRI *SAT
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . *NONE

Once you have changed the default from *Daily to *Date *sun *mon etc goes away and is replaced with "dates of the year"

Re: Job Schedule

JS is the Advanced Job Scheduler (I believe) - an extra $ option.
Otherwise use ADDJOBSCDE with settings as suggested by GLS400

Re: Job Schedule

Thanks Guys...either way this will not solve my problem because I dont have Advance Job Scheduler and ADDJOBSCDE don't have parameter that can schedule a job every 15th of each month...but thanks again for the reply.

Re: Job Schedule

Simple. create a CL program to 1) execute the program you want to run 2) submit itself as a scheduled job for the next 15th of the month.

CLP program theory: (pgm name is Ajob

pgm

dcl &schdate *char 6

/* retreive sysval qmonth then increment it by 1 */
/* retreive sysval qdate
/* then change the retreived system date month portion to the incremented month */
/* I am not going to write this for you, you can figure it out */

SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(APGM)) JOB(\APGM) JOBD(URJOBD) JOBQ(QPGMR) SCDDATE(&schdate) SCDTIME(150000)   

call Urprogramhere

endpgm

Re: Job Schedule

From the Job Scheduler help text:

*MONTHLY
The job is submitted on the same day or days of each
month at the scheduled time.

If you specify *MONTHLY and a month does not contain
the day specified for the SCDDATE parameter, the job
is not run that month. For example, if
SCDDATE(01/31/2004) and FRQ(*MONTHLY) are specified,
the job is submitted on 01/31, 03/31, 5/31, 7/31,
8/31, 10/31 and 12/31, but will not run in February, April, June, September, or November. To submit a job
on the last day of every month, specify
SCDDATE(*MONTHEND).

If you specify *MONTHLY and your system or your job is
configured to use Julian date format, the job is
submitted to run on the day of the month that it would
run if the system or job did not use Julian date
format.

I just placed my cursor on Frequency and hit F1.
We do not have the Advanced JS, just the vanilla one. HTH

Re: Job Schedule

Thanks Billw...hope you read my first message that I stated "Is anyone knows how can I do this without creating a program?"...but thanks very much for the reply but I think this is the only way that I can run the job, by creating a program.

Also thanks Pete..but I want to schedule the job every 15th of the month...not secont tuesday of the month or monthend or start of the month...I know there's a parameter in Job schedule that you can do this but thanks anyways...

Re: Job Schedule

As pete said: just use schdate(021509)and *monthly then it will ALWAYS run on the 15th monthly
