Hi All,
I am facing this particular problem w.r.t CA-7 scheduling please help me..

A file is processed by a program in a job that is scheduled through CA7.

While sequentially processing the file, if the program encounters an error record, it will write the file into an error record, write the remaining unprocessed records into another file and exit (STOP run) with a non zero return code.

The records in the file that contains the unprocessed records need to be processed. So the job needs to be submitted again.

How can the job be triggered automatically in CA7?
Can the return code trigger the job? If yes, how many times job can be triggered this way in CA7?

Can the job be triggered by the new file created by the previous run of this job?

rajeshkoratti,

What is the point of re-submitting the job once again if the input record is bad? You did not make any changes to the program. So no matter how many times you re-submit the job you will end up in the error condition.

This is exactly the reason you have IMS check point restart feature.

Thanks Kolusu

One more help i need. Can you please provide me an example of the SASSTRLR program. And if possible some reference to the documentation pertaining to the same.

I have the CA-7 manuals which i downloaded from the site. But somehow the content is still vague.
