We have a WRKJOBSCDE that is scheduled to run every Saturday @ 7:00 a.m.
The users would now like this to be run on the first of each month as well
- also @ 7:00 a.m.

I have a weekly backup job and then a monthly.

I hold the weekly for the monthly using a Python script.

I run the Python script on the day of the backup (Saturday e,g., day 7)
launched from a CL.

You can do the same thing for specific dates, days, months, etc. Python's
datetime module is rich.


*hold1st.py *

import datetime
import sys
from subprocess import call

x = datetime.date.today().day

if x <= 7 :
thecall = "QSYS/HLDJOBSCDE JOB(WEEKLYSAV)"
else:
thecall = "QSYS/RLSJOBSCDE JOB(WEEKLYSAV)"

call(["/QOpenSys/usr/bin/system", thecall])

*HOLD1STMTH CLP*

CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) +
PARM('/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3' +
'/home/JWOEHR/hold1st.py')
