I do the same thing. The math is easy now that we have significantly better
date/time handling than when I originally wrote the CL to do this back on
V3R6. Even then it was not really all that hard. You just have to take
into account going over midnight, leap year, and other such oddities.

I use the job scheduler to spawn the initial job and then have it use SBMJOB
SCDTIME() to resubmit as needed.

Subject: Scheduling a more-frequently-than-daily job?
Fellow Midrange geeks and geekettes:
Most of you probably already know that my "weapon of choice" for setting up
a job to run periodically is a self-perpetuating batch job: when runs, it
schedules its own next run.
I do understand the basics of job schedule entries, but I'm not always in a
position to use them, and I figured out self-perpetuating batch jobs before
I learned about them.
Now, I have situations that call for a job to run not just daily, but
*hourly* (at least during business hours). I've got it set up with
self-perpetuating batch jobs, but I just took a look at WRKJOBSCDE and
ADDJOBSCDE. I don't see anything there for setting up a job schedule entry
for more than once daily.
Is there a way, short of setting up a separate job schedule entry for every
time the job should run during a typical day?
