Hi folks,

What will be the JCL code for this statement "TO EXECUTE A JOB BY 7 A.M ON JAN 20,1986"?

let me know in case of any concerns.

You can use jes2 command to do this but I suggest you a scheduler like Tivoli or CA7.

I hope in this help.

hi frnd,

U may also have one more option ie., To execute the job on particular time(2pm) on a particular day(friday) of every week.

//*MAIN DEADLINE=(1400,A,6,WEEKLY)

hope it will be helpful in future.
