Re: Schecduling a Job Every 2 weeks

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Been out for a few days.

Ken,

Thanks for the credit.

However, if you do an unload/reload will the job ever run again?

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.
