Scheduling job not triggering

I am scheduling job using Datastage tool, which tool is installed on solaris server.
I can able to schedule jobs/sequences, its not trigering at specified scheduling trigerring time.
but at specified job not starting automatically. Till that specified schedule time, i can able to see that the job is schedule in datastage tool and even in at.allow and cron.allow files.
But at exact time of schedule,its showing that no job is scheduled.
i can able to see that schedule job and time in at -l, crontab -l .
Please help me out to resolve this issue.

Show your cron entry.

Also, check if the script is actually running but erroring out for some reason.

Yeah, that sequence sets the EDITOR var that crontab read. It would be good idea to include the first two lines in /etc/profile if you use bash or ksh or /etc/.login if you csh so that the variable is set in any user login. Or you can set it in the .profile in your home directory if you want it just for your user.
