Hey Scott, nothing special here. We just have a started task that abends during IPL because it seems to be conflicting with JES startup. It works fine if we delay the startup until JES has completed its startup. For automation purposes, I want to start this STC during COMMNDxx processing, but ensure that JES has finished its start up process.
So that is why I went into a hunt for a solution to trigger something only after JES has started. I will study and experiment with the suggestions I received and report back when I have a working solution. Thanks to all. P.S. to Mark Zeldon, I did search the archives and found some notes on COMMAND from CBT and delay and sleep tips, but as I said, I wanted to investigate a no-added-software solution. I have nothing against added additional tools/software if and only if the function I need is not already in the base. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
