RE: Job Schedule Entries

Simon, I am sorry that I did not use the correct term. Next time just bypass
the message instead of scolding the person.

That is very immature.

I think I remember somewhere about being able to get the file of Job
Schedule Entries off the IFS. Does anyone remember this or did I

We are moving a customer from a V5R3 machine that cannot be
upgraded to V5R4
to a V5R4 box and wanted to keep those.

Why do you think it is in a file?

Honestly, you're working on an OBJECT-BASED system; your FIRST
thought should be what OBJECT contains the job scheduler entries.

That object may be a file but in this case it is QDFTJOBSCD in
library QUSRSYS, type *JOBSCD.

You may be able to save and restore this object from VRM530 to VRM540
**but** it is possible that the internal format of this object has
changed between releases. The proper migration method would be to use
the List Job Schedule Entries (QWCLSDE) API to dump the entries into
a user space, then save and restore the user space object, then
process the user space on VRM540 to build ADDJOBSCDE commands and
"restore" the entries.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
