Well darnit, James, if it's not on the iSeries, it's junk. Remember the old SNL skit with Mike Myers - Scottish or crap? Sounds like we have a new one. Is it AS/400 or CRAAAAAAAP! I hope y'all are catching the sarcasm, because I'm laying it on pretty thick. jch -----Original Message----- From: James Rich [mailto:james@eaerich.com] Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 1:11 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: RE: At the risk of sounding like an AS/400 rah-rah...

But like I said, it can be done. If you wanted a one time job then use the correct tool: the 'at' command. You can even schedule things to run on a given queue. If your jobs are in file MYPGM then you would do: at -f MYPGM 04am Jan 19 Pretty easy I think. at and cron can do a lot of things that can't be done easily with ADDJOBSCDE.
