Re: CL program

[Wayne McAlpine <wayne.mcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can add a job schedule entry to run your CL program on the last day 
of the

ADDJOBSCDE CMD(CALL MYPROGRAM FRQ(*MONTHLY) SCDDATE(*MONTHEND)

That will eliminate any need to compute the last day of the month in 
your program.  All you would then do is retrieve the month in your 
program and convert it to character to use in your library name.

Incidentally, you might be better served by naming the libraries with a 
common alphabetic prefix and then the date in YYYYMM format. Then you 
wouldn't even have to convert the month to character and, in addition, 
when you work with the libraries from a command line they will display 
in sorted order.
