Hi All,

I have a job with 2 Steps, say STEP1 and STEP2. My requirement is that if STEP1 RC = 20, STEP2 should be executed after 10 minutes. If STEP1 RC is anything else, the job should be completed. How can I use the Time lag of 10 minutes exactly?

Please help.

Thanks in Advance,
Vamsee.

1. Split it into 2 jobs and use a scheduler.
2. Use REXX between the steps to inquire the RC and to set a delay.

Use a UNIX "sleep" command:

chagantivamsee,

10 mins a lot to hold up an initiator. I would go with 2 jobs and use the scheduler to delay the second job by 10 mins.

Thanks for your responses. But I can't use a separate job as a fix due to my Project constraints. When am trying to use the UNIX sleep command as suggested by 'superk', it throws a message like this:

AOP003E BIN/SLEEP: EDC5129I No such file or directory., errno2=594003d
