Executing JCL specific steps at specific times

Hi All,

I have a JCL which is calling a PROC containing 3 steps(step1,step2,step3).

I need to execute this JCL twice in a day once at 5am and once at 5pm.

At 5am, i need to execute step2 only.

At 5pm, i need to execute step1 and step3 only.

Please let me know how can i achieve this.

Thanks,
Shruti

So, you tell your Scheduler people.

If you are the only one using that PROC, split it in two.

Many thanks for your reply!!

We are using control M Scheduler.

I will not be able to split the Proc as it is being used by multiple applications.

Is there any other way out?

Make 2 new procs, specially for those 2 occasions.

Thanks for your reply!!

Is there any other way apart from splitting of Procs?

Is this achievable through JCL and scheduler modifications?

Splitting of procs would mean creating two different jobs and schedule them at different times using control M Scheduler.

I am looking forward to execute same job at two different times with different steps.

Talk to your Scheduler people. They will tell you how they want it done.
