Thanks in advance

You don't absolutely "need" a script to schedule something in Control-M or any other Enterprise Scheduler but it certainly is the correct way to do that. As noted, the script would be a wrapper for the dsjob command and could do a number of things besides simply launch a job - it could check for existence, reset if necessary, report on success/failure, etc etc.
Searching for "dsjob" with an author of "kcbland" will find you an example of such a script. There may be others out there but I know that one exists.
Now, if you actually need Control-M help, this isn't the place to get it, other than at a very general level.

There's no "docs" and any links you can turn up yourself for Control-M rather easily using Google or your favorite search engine. I would suggest you spend some time with the people in your company responsible for Control-M if you need a better understanding of what it does or to see examples of how they are using it. Hopefully they are and it's not new and a complete mystery to everyone.
And try the search mentioned here.

As Craig already mentioned, you need to check with your Control-M developers about that.
Is this the first project your company using Control-M ? Do you have any support agreement with them ?
