Run Winbatch Every Two Weeks

Keywords:   two weeks	timejulianday

Question:

I would like to write a script to execute every 2 weeks on a specific day at a specific time, e.g. on Wednesday at 2:30 in the morning. But, I need a starting point for this script meaning this script will execute another program that will download data from payroll, so this can only run after a payroll period. So I cannot run it any 2 weeks it has to be every 2 weeks after a pay period.

Answer:

If you mean every two weeks forever starting at some particular initial payroll date...
timejulianday(timeymdhms()) mod 14 ==timejulianday(initial_payroll_date) mod 14
