| How to run the Rexx Program at a set time |
from the topic title the obvious reply is to use Your scheduling facilities, but ...
where is the REXX supposed to be running ?
what is the trigger that determines when the process should be started
if it is an excel WS the most appropriate approach seems to have the end user ( at the desktop ) to start the whole shebang
ftp and job submission..
or better just the FTP and have Your scheduler schedule the job based on the dataset arrival |

If you are controlling this from Windows, look at the built in Task Scheduler in the control panel. If you are controlling this from a Unix or Linux workstation, check out cron.
If you are connecting to the workstation from the mainframe, use a scheduler there (or cron is also available if you have access to it).
The one thing you *don't* want to do is submit a job that loops or wakes up at a specific time. That is a complete waste of resources. |
