I meant job scheduling software. Are you nit picking, or did you really not know what I was referring to? And yes, all production jobs usually are scheduled through the software. Of course rules are made to be broken and there are always exceptions. We have some "end users" that submit jobs that are considered production. Obviously they don't get the benefit of job scheduling software to automatically check return codes etc. and kick off subsequent jobs. But we do have ThruPut Manager that "emulates" the Mellon Bank JES2 mods that include /*BEFORE and /*AFTER, and people do make use of that.
