Charles, Why don't you grab a copy of AUTO from the CBT tape. It has a scheduler function.
We use it on Dallas to schedule the SLEEP command after business hours to save some costs. We also have a schedule set up to do ADRDDSU backups and an offsite FTP. You could also have a job that submits itself to the internal reader when it completes, code it as TYPRUN=HOLD and have AUTO release it.
