I have a requirement where the job should continuously run until the latest generation is XCOM from other mainframe server. In order to check for latest generation i can check either creation date of the generation or the file it self contains header records with creation date. By checking any of the above i can find latest generation.
If any one worked on similar issue or have a good approach to solve the problem, please let me know.
Thanks,
Surya |

To check the creation date of a GDG files use LISTCAT
| Code: |
LISTC ENT('GDG base ') ALL

How does a job "run continuously" using a qsam file as input?
I suspect/assume the the file that arrives via XCOM is qsam?
If you describe what you want to do in more detail, someone may have a suggestion. |

Infinite loop? |

Thank you all for the response any way i dropped the plan of making job wait till the file received from other server  . I understand its a very bad approach.
I modified the way jobs are going to be executed which will ensure the latest file is already in place prior to the job run.
Thanks,
Surya |

Something you might consider is having the job defined to the schedule to be triggered when the file is received.
Your scheduling people will be able to help with the schedule setup. |
