Answer Wiki:
I meant SBMJOB. Yes, you can. Use the system() call to execute a CL command in a C program. It can be found in the ILE C/C++ Run-Time Library Functions manual. SC41-5607-02. You can use it to execute your SBMJOB command. Works great. ////////////////////////////////////////// Hi, An alternative is to use Spawn() to submit a child JOB. You can found this function in the same manual.

Hi

Can you use a call to QCMDEXC – that should be able to do a SBMJOB for you.
