That's because you issued the $TA commands for a time "earlier" than the current time. WAD according to the JES2 Commands manual. Add 24 hours to your T= time and it will execute immediately and then at the scheduled time you expect. /*$ T A0015,T=34.00,I=86400,'$VS,''S SENDSMF''' /*$ T A0016,T=36.00,I=86400,'$VS,''S SENDSMF''' /*$ T A0017,T=38.00,I=86400,'$VS,''S SENDSMF''' Dennis

I have added the following commands to JES2 startup: /*$ T A0015,T=10.00,I=86400,'$VS,''S SENDSMF''' /*$ T A0016,T=12.00,I=86400,'$VS,''S SENDSMF''' /*$ T A0017,T=14.00,I=86400,'$VS,''S SENDSMF''' The intent is to start the SENDSMF task at 10.00, 12.00 and 14.00 every day. So the system was IPL'd at 21.00. 3 instances of SENDSMF were started when JES started at 21:00 and have been started at 21:00 every evening since. Is there a way to do what I want to do using using JES2? This is a small LPAR used for development work and there is no job scheduler or NETVIEW running. I know I could write a simple program that starts at IPL time and runs eternally and submits the task at specific times but I was hoping to avoid writing code. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
