RE: Whats the best way to run a CL every 30 min

Silvio,

Here's a very simple program that shows one way of doing the trick.

***************************
    pgm                         
                                
SbmPgm:                         
    sbmjob cmd(call myprog)    
    dlyjob 1800                 
    goto   SbmPgm               
                                
    endpgm                      
***************************

In this example the name of the program you want to run periodically is
"myprog". The program to submit myprog should itself be run in batch and
should be active all the time. After submitting myprog it will sleep for 30
minutes (1800 seconds) using virtually no resources, then wake up and start
over. These kind of never ending programs (NEPs) can usually be run quite
happily in the QCTL subsystem. You probably also should run it with a zero
logging level: that way it can remain active indefinitely without building
up a big job log.

You can add a SBMJOB for the submitting program to your startup program
(system value QSTRUPPGM), or start it off with a new autostart job entry in
QCTL so that it will start automatically following an IPL. If the system is
already up and running just submit it to job queue QCTL.
