James,

In the SBMJOB command the DATE defaults to the *JOBD value (which, in turn,
defaults to *SYSVAL). You should specify the desired date in the DATE parm,
not by changing the submitting job's date.

Hi everyone,

We've come across an unusual situation that we can't understand. We're
submitting a job after having first changed the job date using CHGJOB.
The submitted job appears to be ignoring the changed job date.
Specifically, we use CHGJOB DATE(103010) the set the date to October 30,
then SBMJOB to run an RPGIII program that uses *date to populate a field.
When submitted, the RPGIII program is populating the field with the
current date, not October 30 as specified in the CHGJOB.

I know we've been using this technique for years to submit jobs with a
modified job date and it has worked perfectly. Can anyone tell me why it
isn't working now?

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
