JCL that triggers itself after every 15 mins

My requirement is that the JCL should be triggered after every 15 mins. I am using the internal reader concept as the last step of the job to submit the same jcl from the top. But i dont want to make the jcl run continuously. Every time the last step is reached i have to make the JCL wait for a period of 15 mins before submitting the same job through internal reader.

Isearched this forum but was not able to come up with a relevant thread.
Could any one help me with this and if this has already been discussed please post the thread details

Thanks,
AJ

Hi,

Instead of using the last step and internal reader concept to submit the same job

I don't know which schedular you are using, but you can use the schedular and do setting for the job to trigger every 15 mins.

As rajandhla mentioned even i think scheduling the job would be the best Idea.

I have a weird

idea about implementing this, never tried though, see if it helps.

Run a REXX in the penultimate step and put a elapsed time function in a loop until time > 15mins/or 900 secs, as soon as it comes out of the loop this step will end and the last step to submit the job will run.
