Re: Is there a way to copy an existing Job Schedule Entry to a new one?

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

This was pretty good.  However what happens when you have multiple 
schedule entries with the same name?  For example, we have a job that 
runs 5 times a day.  We want to add a sixth.  We have to fill in the 
ENTRYNBR parameter to get the QCMDCHK prompter to work.  Then the ADDJOBSCDE 
fails because this is not a valid parameter.  We would have to modify this 
program to strip out this parameter.  But as Robert said, this was a 
beautiful technique.

Brendan,

Every time I think I'm beconming a pretty competent CL programmer, someone
blows me away.  What you have proposed is such a simple but powerful way to
do what I needed -- I've never even given the remotest consideration to
"substituting" one command for another.  Beautiful!

Thanks for the solution and the lesson that I'm sure will have many other
benefits,

Robert
