JMS/3000 is used for this purpose in our shop ... and it has a rich set of date
substitution parameters which you can specify via specific coding at the desired
locations in your jcl. Here's a list of the date parms available from JMS:

$FIRSTWD 01032000 FIRST WORKING DAY OF CURRENT MONTH DTE8 8

$YESTERDAY 01182000 YESTERDAY'S DATE DTE8 8
$YREND 12312000 LAST DAY OF CURRENT YEAR DTE8 8
The substitution syntax used in the jcl may also include one of several output
formats for the date. Calculated dates are based upon the value of $TODAY.
Additionally, user-defined dates (6- or 8-digit, plus fiscal dates) and optional
date files (used to maintain the non-system defined dates) may be created.
YMMV,

Subject: [HP3000-L] Scheduling Package for ManMan
Hello Everybody,
About 2 months ago, I had asked if anyone knew of any good, reliable
scheduling packages for the HP3000 running Ask/ManMan as a front-end.
I received some responses, but by PC blew up so everything that was
suggested is now gone.
Here is a reminder of what I need: The scheduling package would have to
support date parms(ie; I have multiple jobstreams that look into the future
and past for date parms 21 days ahead, 7 days, 8 days, 90 days ahead, 21
days back these are mainly daily jobs, there are also weekly jobs that run
for the current week, and monthly jobs that run for the current month ((
this week would be for Jan 17 thru Jan 22, This month would be for 01012000
thru 01312000)). Right now I change all these dates through a qedit query
procedure that works okay as long as the person manually changing the dates
does not err. If that person errs, I have multiple fires to put out, so the
package MUST support date parms. If anyone knows of anything that works,
please explain in detail within your reply as to how the package
"changes"(ie; date equations, external file ect..) the dates that I
currently change manually.
Thanks in advance!!
Stephen
