Re: WRKJOBSCDE, library lists, and user ids.

1)  We've gotten out of the habit of using 10-Submit Immediately.  It 
often will use many of the features of your current environment.  Instead 
we'll just change the entry to a time about 30 seconds into the future. 
Don't know how many times we use 10 and it worked great only to find it 
failed when ran during the night.  Therefore 10 is not a valid test.

2)  On an addjobscde, and NOT on submit immediately, it should use the 
library list of the job description listed in the JOBD portion of 
ADDJOBSCDE.  If you find this not to be true, then there is one way to 
gain some more insurance.  Instead of putting a call directly on the 
command, have it do a SBMJOB.  Sample:
ADDJOBSCDE JOB(RICHARD) 
           CMD(SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(MYPGM)) JOB(RICHARDJS) 
               JOBD(MYLIB/MYJOBD) PRTDEV(*JOBD) OUTQ(*JOBD)
               USER(*JOBD) INLLIBL(*JOBD)) 
           FRQ(*WEEKLY) 
           SCDDATE(*NONE) 
           SCDDAY(*MON) 
           SCDTIME('08:00') 
Remembering to prompt on the SBMJOB command and override numerous of the 
defaults away from *CURRENT, *USER, etc.

hey all,

I'm more than just a little perplexed with the behaviour of WRKJOBSCDE.

It appears that everytime you either add, change or submit immediately a
scheduled job, you must have your library list set so that the job will 
run
properly.

When you add an entry, it appears to use the current library list when it
runs.

When you make a change to the entry, it appears to reset the library list
you run it under to your current library list.

When it is submitted immediately, it appears to run under userid in the
USER parameter, but whoever submitted the job gets the submit and job end
messages.

Does this sound right?  I would think that it would use the initial 
library
list of the jobd, or the user's initial libl, or that from his jobd.  but
not the current library list.

Is there someplace I can look to verify the rules for using WRKJOBSCDE?

thanks,

Rick
