:blush on Bill Munson is right. The WAKEUP PARMS file contains the date and time that the command was last executed - and only handles a week at a time. I sure do wish that there was a "instant recall and trash" capability with the listserve! That's what I get for posting before being fully awake. Cursed timezone change!! :-( :blush off
Thanks, Bill! Nonetheless, VM:Schedule would handle your request with ease. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

But: SAT 08:00:00 05/01/10 should do it. HOWEVER... you need to understand that the DAY (SAT on this case) is a key field. It indicates when that command will be executed next, and when it will repeat, this case EVERY SATURDAY from 1 May 2010 forever. This command will be executed for the first time at 08:00 on 05/01/10, and then AGAIN EVERY SATURDAY at 08:00. After the first execution, the WAKEUP PARMS record will appear as: SAT 08:00 05/08/10 command_string WAKEUP is meant to provide a means of scheduling repeated requests. If you want to use it for a one-time command, then you must remember to update the WAKEUP PARMS file to manually remove or change the command as desired. If you want a full-function scheduler, then VM:Schedule from CA will do the trick with an incredible number of bells and whistles. IBM may also sell something from Rocket Software, but I don't recall offhand. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

For example, say I want to execute "CP SET SHARE USERA RELATIVE 300 2.7% LIMITHARD" at 08:00 on Saturday, May 1, 2010? I'm thinking it would be "SAT 08:00:00 04/24/10 CP SET SHARE USERA RELATIVE 300 2.7% LIMITHARD". Is this correct?
