# Generazione Statistiche
00 01 * * 2-6 /prg1/app/abb/sic/JCL/jstN60 >/dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for the help

When it works in interactive mode (command line...) and not in crontab, most of the time it is due to your environment settings (initialised in interactive shell...)...
Are all the variables set? what about PATH ?

Addendum:
From AIX (5.3) man:
The cron daemon supplies a default environment for every shell, defining HOME,
LOGNAME, SHELL (=/usr/bin/sh), and PATH (=/usr/bin).

Could you show exactly how you execute that command on the command line?

Also what is the error when that fails in cron?

after login my location is
/prg1/app/abb/sic >

then i do this
cd JCL

and the location is set like this
/prg1/app/abb/sic/JCL>

then
jspPRE-ALL

and that's all.
there is no error or fails in crontab.
its seems that the job don't starts.
thanks.

... because the first line in my job was
. $ORACLE_BASE/profile/pro_siebel

i correct it with
. /prg1/app/oracle/profile/pro_siebel

an it work

thanks everyone

You figured it out on your own, that's great news!!!
