Steve,

        Have similar, but not identical problems.  We want to skip over
weekends.  The interval parameter only needs to evaluate to a date data
type, therefore the solution here has been to use the decode function.
It works well, although how you'd use it, I'm not 100% sure.  Need to
look in a book & experiment a touch.

Oracle 9.2

We want to schedule a job via DBMS_JOB to run at 12:30am and 12:30pm.
I'd prefer to schedule 1 job to do this rather than 1 job to run at
12:30am and 1 job at 12:30pm (I don't want them to run on top of each
other).

When I schedule the job via this command:

execute dbms_job.submit(job=3D3D>:jobno, what=3D3D>'program_name;',
next_date=3D3D>trunc(sysdate+1)+1/48,
interval=3D3D>'trunc(SYSDATE+12/24,''HH'')');

It works as expected.  But the problem I have is if the job gets broken
or the db is down the next time it executes it will schedule itself 12
hours in the future- if it happens to run at 2:10am then the next run
would be 2:00pm.  Is there a way with 1 job to force it to only run at
12:30am and 12:30pm regardless of the time of current execution?

Thanks
