Come on Joe: >hold, Uncheck the "Enabled" box on the scheduled task. >release, Check the "Enabled" box on the scheduled task. >modify Change anything on the properties page. >immediately execute Right click and select "run" And remember, this is the "basic" jobscheduler out of the box. I'm sure no one on the list has ever paid for Robot or IBM's more advanced job scheduler on their iSeries. I will say, I do miss _very much_ the ability to hold a RUNNING job. I can change the priority to a low level, but there have been times I wish I could have outright held a running job. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

Cool! I'm having a little trouble finding the options that allow you to hold, release, modify or immediately execute the batch jobs, though. Same with the Unix stuff. Probably because they don't exist. Most of the schedulers for the PC-based OS's are pretty limited in their capabilities, but that's simply a reflection of the evolution of the OS. While OS/400 has been from its very inception all about handling business applications, the PC OS's are primarily single user systems or multi-user text processors. Unix is closer to being able to handle business applications than Windows because at least Unix was built for multi-user processing. Windows was a single-user multi-tasker, which "evolved" into a multi-user OS. In both cases, though, scheduling is seen as more of a "system administration" function than an operations function. In fact, the concept of a system operator is sort of foreign to most Unix/NT shops. Rather than having a subset of daily business operations that can be easily run by an operator with minimal training, you instead have a bunch of technical commands (cron, at, ...) that require somebody with some relatively in-depth knowledge to use. It's this philosophical divergence that really differentiates the IBM midrange from the more technical OS's. And if don't agree with that most simple of comments, please send your responses to /dev/nul. >smile< Joe _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
