TASK TO TRIGGER SAME APPL NEXT MONTH

[Loren Watts]

I've been given a scheduling requirement to have an appl trigger the same appl on a specific date the following month.
The original generation can be any date of any month, but the next gen needs to be on the 18th day of the following month.
I know what I typed below is NOT the correct statement, but it's a place to start.
Is there a way to have a task in an appl trigger the event as I described.

JOB TRIG_APPL_FOR_NEXT_MONTH TASK SELFCOMPLETING
RUN ANYDAY
ESPNOMSG TR %TREVENTS.%ESPAPPL. RESET DELAYSUB('08.00 18TH DAY OF NEXT MONTH')
ENDJOB

[Chris_Elvin]

Does this fulfill your needs?

JOB TRIG_APPL_FOR_NEXT_MONTH TASK SELFCOMPLETING
 RUN ANYDAY
 ESPNOMSG TRIGGER %ESPUSER..%ESPAPPL +
  AT('08.00 18TH DAY OF MONTH STARTING TODAY PLUS 1 MONTH') +
  REPLACE
ENDJOB

Using this technique, the next scheduled execution of the trigger for the application will be set to the required value

Can the scheduling criteria be at the Event Level?

As long as the Event exists it will run every month.

By adding the Trigger statement in the Job, if the Job or Proc were completed - nothing would run in the future.

Thank you for helping me and for your time Rick R. No, your idea won't meet the requirement. This appl will only run twice yearly, but the first run is not scheduled for a date. I'm going to try the idea by Chris_Elvin  in this discussion.

First run of the year, the appl will initially be triggered by the event WOB file. That can be any day of any month.

The 18th of the month trigger needs to come after the original gen was triggered by the WOB.

And the second trigger must be for the 18th of the following month. 

Example 1: WOB sees the file October 7th. ESP triggers and runs the appl October 7th. The next generation must be triggered for NOVEMBER 18th.  
Example 2: WOB sees the file October 21st. ESP triggers and runs the appl October 21st. The next generation must be triggered for NOVEMBER 18th.

@Chris_Elvin  Your suggestion looks promising Chris. Thank you for your time and help. I'll try it in the next couple days and update this discussion.
