Hi, I have a few solutions for you.
1) I can send you a program that you execute as a step in your job and it will create a sondition code based on what day of the week it is, (1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, etc.) and another one that does the same thing, but returns the day of the month as a condition code, i.e. RC=23 means it's the 23rd. 2) I can send you a program that you pass the day of the week in your parm (i.e. Tuesday), and it will set the condition code rc=4 if it's that day or RC=8 if it's not. 3) I can send you a program that checks if a file (that you pass oin the parm) has been created today, if so, the RC is set to 0 if found and created today, 4 if found but not created today, and 8 if not found. You can then use it to make sure that your process runs only once a day. But htat doesn't really fit your requirements right now. 4) I have a command and job scheduler that is available in a free version that will allow you to schedule any command or submit any job based on day of week, day of month, time of day, etc. processing. 5) I also have a non-free, ($1,500) version of the program in #2 above that gives you many more options like IF based processing, i.e. If it's 10am and CICS is active, then submit this job. 6) I have another non-free (also $1,500) facility that functions as a on- demand script processor with the full scripting ability so that your job could execute a script which (depending on the time of day, day of week, system ID, and any of 30 other options) submit your correct process or job. I think that you can use either option 5 or 6 to get exactly what you want in a supported product, and the cost is minimal, certainly far cheaper than either a scheduling or command package from IBM or any other vendor. Take your pick. Just send me an email and let me know which one you want to try. I can send you a test version of the non-free ones.
