Hi, I have red the info from regarding this automation from http://www.mvsforums.com/helpboards/viewtopic.php?t=4996&highlight=windows+scheduler

this tells to write a jcl in one text file and FTP it to mainframe to submit the job. this is working fine. But I wanted to know..if I already have a JCL stored in PDS on the mainframe and I just want to submit that thru windows scheduler..is this possible ? can anyone tell me what needs to be done

I seem to remember that directing FTP to JES and then using a GET on the PDS member containing the JCL will submit the job. Its something to look at anyway. If not, you can always do a GET to the workstation and then switch to JES and do a PUT, though if the JCL has any sensitive info like passwords, that might be a security concern (although since FTP is clear-text anyway on the login, that may be moot).

the JCL you send via FTP can be a step to copy the existing member to the INTRDR.

Code:

// JOB
//J EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=your.jcl.pds(member),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR),DCB=BLKSIZE=80
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
