RE: Whats the best way to run a CL every 30 min

Carl,

The routing entries are part of the subsystem description. They determine
among other things the first program called in the routing step and the
class of the job. The class is a separate object that sets the job's run
attributes including run priority and time slice.

If you enter DSPCLS QBATCH and DSPCLS QCTL you should be able to see details
of these two IBM-supplied classes and it will become apparent where the
jobs' run attributes come from.

If you now enter DSPSBSD QCTL then take option 7 you will see the routing
entries in that subsystem. Each entry has a sequence number, a program, a
compare value and a starting position (for the comparison). The last entry
should be a catch-all with compare value of *ANY. During routing the job's
routing data is compared with the values; the first hit is the entry that is
actually used.

If you enter a 5 against any entry you will see further detail, including
the class to be used. You can add your own routing entries to a subsystem
description with the ADDRTGE command.

If you now type SBMJOB on the command line, prompt with F4, then use F10 for
more detail and page down you will see that the SBMJOB command uses default
routing data of QCMDB. You can use the RTGDTA parameter on the SBMJOB
command to have any routing data you want. After all, you are in control of
submitting the NEP.

BTW the people who have been recommending QSYSWRK as the subsystem of choice
for running NEPs are quite right. QSYSWRK has not always been with us, and
I'm a little out of date it seems.

Expound on that a little.  I've never used routing entries but it sounds
like it's worth exploring. I'm presuming the routing entry set-up is a
separate "permanent" structure that could be used for other jobs as well???
