Charles, You can use the SCHEDULE command to run the job at a particular time. Here is a detailed explanation of the parms along with examples https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.ieab600/iea3b6_schedule_examples_of_schedule_statements.htm To make it run every day at the specified time, just add another step to generate the SCHEDULE command for next day execution. Something like this //LASTSTEP EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your.PDS(subjob) //SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR) //SYSIN DD * OPTION COPY INREC IFOUTLEN=80, IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT, OVERLAY=(81:DATE1(/)+1)), IFTHEN=(WHEN=(01,22,CH,EQ,C'// SCHEDULE HOLDUNTL=('), BUILD=(C'// SCHEDULE HOLDUNTL=(''', C'17:00''', C',''', 86,02, $ MM 88,01, $ / 89,02, $ DD 85,01, $ / 81,04, $ YYYY C''')')) /* I had a sample member in my pds(subjob) and it has the following contents //SCHEDJOB JOB (B004273,BIN#,BLDG#,DEPT#),&SYSUID, // MSGCLASS=H,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID /* // SCHEDULE HOLDUNTL=('17:00','11/18/2020') /* //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1 DD * ABC //SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY /* To this we will add the last step as shown above. That last step will change the SCHEDULE command to "Current date+1" as hold and it will submit the job to INTRDR. So as soon this job ran the next day's job will be in the INPUT queue waiting for it to be executed. So you submit the job once and it will take care of submitting itself everyday until you cancel Further if you have any question please let me know Thanks.
