I got another idea.  Schedule it to run once, this Friday.  Then, as the
last step of the job, do a CHGJOBSCDE to set the next run date for the
job.

A method I use is similiar to Jeff's suggestion except that I don't use the
scheduler, instead I have the program SBMJOB itself with the desired new
date and time in SCDDATE and SCDTIME.  I also have it do the submission at
the beginning, not the end, which answers Rob's very pertinent comment
about abnormal terminations.
