RE: jobscde question

Pedro, 

Just build yourself a little calendar file containing the last Fridays of 
each month, and key it by date. Schedule a job to run every Friday. Have 
the program chain to the file with the job date. If you get a hit, send 
the message. 

Quick & dirty, KISS principle, etc.

I don't believe it recognizes working days. The help text is pretty clear 
- 
*MONTHEND is the last day of the month - no qulaifiers. ROBOT does 
recognize working days, it can even use a calendar where you define 
holidays and other working.non-working days. The IBM Advanced Job 
Scheduler 
(licensed product, also costs money) might.

You could write something that is scheduled the last 3 (or ? - 3 would 
catch a Friday in a month that ends on Sunday) days of the month which 
would check your criteria. There are APIs that can give you the day of the 

week - SQL can do it, too. You can work out the rest.
