RE: Annual Time Change Question

Not sure I understand or comprehend the "run twice" reference.  This is a job that is sitting in batch on a delay wait until 2:30am.  My concern is that when the time changes (at 2am, switching over to 3am) that the 2:30am wait will not be satisfied.  If it is satisfied, then it will run, if not then it may wait until the next day at 2:30 .... but I can't see it running twice.

Now, maybe if it was placed in the job scheduler at 2:30, that might be a different story.

Quoting Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

It will run twice unless you add code to save the last run and check  to make sure it's not the same day.  Quick data area to store the  last start date and optionally time.

Subject: Annual Time Change Question

    I have a customer who submits a job to the job queue daily.  It has a wait
    built into the job until a specific time of the day so that it runs in the
    middle of the night.  They recently changed the start time from 23:30 to
    2:30.

    So, when the time springs forward, what will happen?
