Hello Raya

This seems to be a batch scheduling problem, i.e. using whatever
facilities your operating system provides, schedule the program to run
as required.  The simplest method of course is manual, perhaps by
written instruction to the people in your organisation responsible for
job scheduling.

You might consider redesigning your DB2 table handling so that the
relevant rows aren't deleted till the order is approved or denied.

For more help, you should tell us your operating system, hardware and
compiler, plus the version numbers of them and DB2.
