| What business reason could you possibly have to do this? |

Robert,
we have a job in which we have two procesdures thsi job would run once only . procudure one loads couple of database and proc 2 do balancing after taking unload from that tables.
i dont know its DB2 limitation whatosever ...proc 2 is unable to take unload using DSNUPROC utility .
and if we wait for some time nearly 1 - 5 minutes and run proc 2 only it works fine. we do have commit in loading component.
so i am not in postion to split the job into 2 .. so i planned to have wait parameter.
thanks

thanks to moderators i have got the solution :
if we place below step :
//PS060 EXEC PGM=GOAW8TAX,PARM='00001500'
//*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
in between two procs it will hold the job without consuming CPu time for 15 secs
if you replace parm by '00100000' then it will hold for 10 mins.
thanks,
JAspal |

| Waits (pauses) in batch jobs won't use CPU but they will unnecessarily tie up an initiator. Have you run this by your operations folks? |

What error are you getting, it would be much better to fix that just wait. |

And very possibly some other resources. . .
As Craig mentoned, you should fix the problem rather than implement some hack to dance around the problem. |
