I don't think that ASKTIME command is going to work here as this only gives you the current date and time. If you want to start the task at a particular time you can use

EXEC CICS START
TIME(HHMMSS)
END-EXEC.

This will start the CICS task at the time specified. But I have no idea about giving the dates. If any one knows it please post it.

Thanks

You can't do this in COBOL program. You have to use some scheduler for it. You can use any specific date & time or any other instance as initiator.
