You might want to take a look at IBM's Advanced Job Scheduler. Unlike the basic WRKJOBSCDE, it isn't free. But it's supposed to have more flexibility. Also it will do things like if a job ends abnormally, page someone. Or if we can't start this job until this other one completes. Don't use it here, yet.

This is interesting, because it would seem that the earliest date available (even though only used in a 'scholarly' sense), would be 0001-01-01, or January 1, 0001. If the Scaliger numbers go back to, basically January 1, -4713, then why don't the allowed values for a Date field go back that far?

A minor point but date fields are actually stored using Scaliger numbers which have a base of January 1 4713 BCE. October 14 1582 is the base date for Lilian numbers which are used by the ILE CEE Date APIs. ------------------------------ message: 6 date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 12:36:20 -0800 from: Reeve <rfritchman@xxxxxxxxx> subject: Re: Date field's and their file space usage. Probably because the math for leap years, and other date adjustments fits when that number is used. There's a size issue as well. It would be interesting to learn how someone came up with that specific date...musta been a nasty DOU! -reeve On Tue, 11 Jan 2005 12:22:12 -0800, Tony Carolla <carolla@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I find date storage a fascinating topic!
