If you have a card reader and you start RDR with the address of a card reader then it submits jobs from that cards reader. Subject to security, you can read from any dataset as long as it supports FB80.

The previous reply talking about $TA etc was for faking a scheduler. All you need is a way to run an IEBGENER to an INTRDR and that could also be in a normal job (subject to what one's security software allows). You only need the $TA aspect if you want JES2 to handle the aspect of deciding when the STC is to execute. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
