Re: scheduled job to run every n minutes?

["Glenn Gundermann" <ggundermann@xxxxxx>]

Sorry if this is repetitive.  I've read some solutions but not all of them.

What I normally do is this:

I continue to use the Job Scheduler to control the days and time to start.

The cl program has two parms, one for &DLYMINS and one for &ENDTIME *CHAR
6 (hhmm).
The top of the program (outside the loop) will convert &DLYMINS to
&DLYSECS into 2 steps, one to cvt to dec and one * 60.
I *CAT '00' to the end of &ENDTIME because &CURTIME will be 6 long.
I also retrieve the current date and store it in &STARTDATE.

In the loop, I retrieve the current date and time.
The job will end if &CURTIME > &ENDTIME or if &CURDATE *NE &STARTDATE.
DLYJOB DLY(&DLYSECS)
GOTO LOOP

I hope this helps.
