I have either a question to be answered or a strange result from a pretty standard scheduler job. Alpha 4100 - OpenVMS 6.2-1H3 , Scheduler 2.1B-1 Interval = "M-1 18:00" ! Want it to run on the last SUNDAY of every month VMS command is commented out. Days=(SUN) Okay ... I set the NEXT_RUN to be "30-MAR-1997" Run the job ... NEXT_RUN is "27-APR-1997" ... cool Try that again ... I would expect the NEXT_RUN to be "25-MAY-1997" ... no ??? its "27-APR-1997" AGAIN.... ok lets fool it ... Set NEXT_RUN to "25-MAY-1997" and run job ... guess what .. NEXT_RUN is back to "27-APR-1997" ??? Checked EVENT.RPT and its says success !! What's going on ? I just want to be able to test a backup scenario without actually running jobs. Regards, Craig [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

This is normal expected behaviour. There is an option to add the new interval based on scheduled interval: sched mod job /use_next this will show what you want to show... A beter way of testing is: 1) run the job once 2) $ schedule show sched /start=today /end= far-way 'job' and you get the future run days | |||||
