Typically a scheduler product can support that type of function in a batch job. For STCs you can use the system variables as documented in SYMDEF in Parmlib.
The system variables do not (AFAIK) translate in batch. The other option is to create a generator job that builds the batch jobstream (via REXX or CLIST) and then submits it. Lizette <-------- Snip I want to create a file that contain the system date & time when it is created. I don't want to use a GDG. I've looked everywhere and cannot locate the system variable for DATE & TIME. Does anyone know these? --------- UnSnip ------ > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
