Re: Quickie Answer = Job Scheduler

[Boris Goldenberg <bpcsguru@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was going through similar headaches until I finally figured out how
to schedule automatic execution of cleanup jobs SFC990, ORD990,
SYS990, and many others.

I'm using the AS/400 built-in job scheduler.  Here is how I was able
to get programs to run outside of BPCS:

Step 1:  Create a driver CL called CLEANUP. Here is some sample code
from it:

              PGM                                                  
                                                                   
              DCL        VAR(&W0INTR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('I')
              DCL        VAR(&W7PLST) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256) 
              DCL        VAR(&W7SLST) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256)            
                                                        
 /* Invoke program to setup *LDA  */                               
              CALL       PGM(SYS664)  PARM('SYS664')                  
                                                              
 /* SFC990D Cleanup FMA & FOD files                    */          
         /* Delete FMA & FOD without an FSO            */          
              CALL       PGM(SFC990B) PARM(&W0INTR &W7PLST &W7SLST)
         /* Reset Shop Order Header Hours              */          
              CALL       PGM(SFC973B) PARM(&W0INTR)                

Please note that a call to program SYS664 is necessary to avoid
getting 'SECURITY VIOLATION' messages.

Step 2:  Create a new entry in the job scheduler.  Make sure to press
F10 and use the BPCS *JOBD in the appropriate library.  That will
setup the job's library list.  Also make sure to use a user id which
will be authorized to all objects and files used in the job stream.

That's all there is to it.  A job may then be submitted and run just
like from within a BPCS environment.

Boris Goldenberg
