Sorry if this is repetitive. I've read some solutions but not all of them.

What I normally do is this:

I continue to use the Job Scheduler to control the days and time to start.

The cl program has two parms, one for &DLYMINS and one for &ENDTIME *CHAR
6 (hhmm).
The top of the program (outside the loop) will convert &DLYMINS to
&DLYSECS into 2 steps, one to cvt to dec and one * 60.
I *CAT '00' to the end of &ENDTIME because &CURTIME will be 6 long.
I also retrieve the current date and store it in &STARTDATE.

In the loop, I retrieve the current date and time.
The job will end if &CURTIME > &ENDTIME or if &CURDATE *NE &STARTDATE.
DLYJOB DLY(&DLYSECS)
GOTO LOOP

I hope this helps.

List,

I need to schedule a job to run every n minutes on certain days between
certain hours. At first inspection, it does not appear that WRKJOBSCDE
supports that degree of control. Is this possible at all on the iSeries?
We
have two systems - v5r3 and v5r4. TIA.
