The short answer is yes, you can do this. In my previous life we used jcl to trigger our Iway ETL. There@ are reportcaster api's in the help file. I would start looking there. I know for me, whenever I wanted to run a reportcaster job, I would just update the next runtime in the reportcaster table to a date time in the past, then when reportcaster runs it's process to see what it needs to run, it would pick up the schedule and run it.
