It WILL run, even though the time skipped forward.

And in the fall, when the time falls back, it will NOT run twice.

This has been discussed on here before, I'm fairly sure. Check the
archives.

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?
