I think that you'll find rel 7.6.n allows this. Choose Month and the options will appear.

As Tony indicates, you can. The older versions left it to the day. You might try frequency on weeks, but that doesn't always work.

In 7.1.x, just write a pre-processing fex. For example, the following allows one of my jobs to run on the 1st, every Friday and the last day of the month that is Monday through Thursday.
-* File pp632.fex
-* Pre-Processing fex for Adoption Claims.
-*
-*  Check to see if today is an appropriate day to run Adoption Claims.
-*  If not set &&KILL_RPC to Y and flush the job.
-*
-*  Check for the 1st the Month
-*
-SET &DAY=EDIT(&DMY,'99');
-IF &DAY EQ 01 THEN GOTO CHECK_STS;
-*
-*  It is not the 1st, check to see if it is Friday
-*
-SET &DOWK=&DATEW;
-IF &DOWK EQ 5 THEN GOTO CHECK_STS;
-*
-*  It is not Friday, check to see if it is the last Day of the Month
-*  and Monday thru Thursday.
-*
-SET &MTH=&YYMD/100;
-SET &NXTMTH=AYM(&MTH,1,'I6');
-SET &NXTFST=&NXTMTH*100+1;
-SET &MTHLST=AYMD(&NXTFST,-1,'I8');
-IF (&YYMD EQ &MTHLST) AND (&DOWK GE 1) AND (&DOWK LE 4) THEN GOTO FINISHED;
-*
-*  Kill job
-*
-SET &&KILL_RPC=Y;
-*
-FINISHED

When you use a routine like JG has suggested you set your schedule so the job will execute every day during the week (the first Monday would need to run on days 1 - 7). In JG's example, you would check for &&KILL_RPC in the program and GOTO DROPOUT when it is equal to 'Y'. -DROPOUT would be the last line of your program. Be aware that some ReportCaster versions do not like -EXIT.

PB, it is my understanding that once &&KILL_RPC is set to 'Y' the whole job is flushed as soon as the pre-process fex finishes. The job I took my example from is a batch job that has only one step but I don't check &&KILL_RPC, the job just dies when the pre-processing fex finishes and &&KILL_RPC is set to 'Y'.
