Hi all,

I have a JCL which takes the backupof our working PDS, i run this JCL whenever required. I need to automate it without using any scheduler to take backup's on pre planned days like daily or one in two days or once in a week. when the project is over we need to stop taking backup's.
Inbetween we need to change the frequency also.

Also conform whether we can use any REXX / CLIST to achieve the same.

Thank you all,
Regards,
Nivasaya.

This is a Different approach. Thanks to my Guide/Colleague Idea

Frank.

If you are using Window OS then Open your control panel
1. Click START/SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL
>>> Scheduled Tasks
>>> Add Scheduled Task
>>> Click Next
>>> Select Command Prompt as application and Click Next
>>> Give the task name (Ex: My PDS Backup) & Select any of the Radio buttons (Daily/Weekly/Monthly...) Click Next
>>> Give the time and any other options if weekly/monthly is selected.
>>> Give your network/lan/windows userid&pwd if asked.
>>> Check the Advanced Options Box.
>>> Now in the RUN give "c:/anywhere/MVSForums/ftpjcl.bat" and press OK.

If you are not sure then check with you windows documentation on "Schedule a new task".

Create the below 3 files.
1. ftpjcl.bat
2. ftpserver.txt
3. jcl.txt

Say in your local directory.
c:/anywhere/MVSForums

1. ftpjcl.bat
