I have a job which needs to run on a Friday, once
a month on a random schedule; i.e., sometimes it's
the third Friday of the month, sometimes the fourth,
and sometimes the fifth Friday. I haven't found
a way to set up a job and give it a date list. I'd
rather not create a whole new job for each month.
I've thought about setting it up to run every Friday,
then attempt to get the FTP file it is supposed to
process, then ignore the failure it the file isn't
there. However, this makes error trapping a moot
point. Can you think of any other possibilities?
Thanks,
Anson

Set a script job to run every Friday. Also create a flat file or a database table and seed it with dates when you wan the job to run.
In the job script check if the today's date in the list and if yes run the main part otherwise simply exit.
