Note that Jonathan’s method is also “hands free”, and it also runs only once a month rather than every day.

While both of the previous suggestions HowardK41 does it like me. That way it’s hands free and no reminders are necessary

You can do it directly using the job scheduler. On the ADDJOBSCDE command specify a frequency of *MONTHLY and the date and time you want to schedule it for. For example to run on September 5th at 01:30 use: ADDJOBSCDE JOB(MONTHLY) CMD(your command) FRQ(*MONTHLY) SCDDATE(050906) SCDTIME('01:30') The FRQ(*MONTHLY) will reschedule for the following calendar month, the only rider being that if you schedule the job for the 29th, 30th, 31st of the month then the job will not run on months that don't have those dates in. Hope it helps Jonathan

In the CLP, do RTVJOBA to get the system date. If it is not the 5th, go directly to EOJ. Put a job on the scheduler to execute the CLP every day. I have used this technique to run jobs at irregular intervals.
