Re: Running job every hour

[Glenn Gundermann <ggundermann@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

I personally like autostart job entries in the subsystem description. 
Here's an example of what I did and perhaps it can apply to what you are
doing.

The users here have all spooled files SAVE(*YES) and this can clutter up
the output queue.  I have a job that is automatically started when the
QBATCH subsystem starts up and just moves all the spooled files with a
status of SAV to a SAVOUTQ.

The subsystem QBATCH has an autostart job entry.  Job MOVPR124, Jobd
MOVPR124, Lib QGPL.

The job description MOVPR124 has job queue QTXTSRCH which has no limit
on how many jobs can run at the same time.  I specify RQSDTA(MOVSAVSPLF
FROUTQ(PR124) TOOUTQ(SAVOUTQ) REPEAT(*YES) DLY(900))

The cpp for my command has the basic logic at the bottom;
if &repeat *eq *YES, DLYJOB DLY(&DLY), goto again, endif.

You would pass DLY(3600) to get your one hour that you want.
