Release: ALL

Resolution

 Below is a job that will run on 15th day of the month. If the 15th falls on a non-workday the LESS 0 WORKDAY statement tells the job to run on the previous workday, which will be Friday:

JOB RCBJOBE. 
  RUN 15TH DAY OF MONTH LESS 0 WORKDAY 
ENDJOB 

If you want the job to run on Monday you would use PLUS 0 WORKDAY:

JOB RCBJOBE. 
  RUN 15TH DAY OF MONTH PLUS 0 WORKDAY 
ENDJOB
