Hi,
How can i make a job run at a particular time. Suppose I submitted thejob at 3:00 Pm. I want it to start running at 4:00PM.

Thanks

You will, of course, have to submit your job with a TYPRUN=HOLD parameter on the job card.

Then, you can define a JES "Set Automatic" command on a system console:

$TA,T=16.00,'$A''MYJOB'''

This JES $TA command is documented here:

and the JES $A command is documented here:

Thanks

Hi,

I tried using the JES3 command //*MAIN DEADLINE=(0400,A). But i'm getting interpreter error. Can you let me know the exact syntax.

Thans,
