Test if interval is set properly in DBMS_JOB .

Question

Hi,
looking for a way to test interval setting in some complex cases .
Its obvious when You have
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (
        :jobno
      , 'p;'
      , TRUNC(sysdate)+11/24
      , 'TRUNC(SYSDATE+1)+11/24');but what if You want interval depend on day of week and hour in that day .
Like, in asktom example
create or replace view next_date
  2  as
  3  select case
  4         when (to_char( sysdate, 'hh24' ) between 6 and 17
  5                   and to_char(sysdate,'dy') NOT IN ('sat','sun') )
  6              then trunc(sysdate)+(trunc(to_char(sysdate,'sssss')/900)+1)*15/24/60
  7         when (to_char( sysdate, 'dy' ) not in ('fri','sat','sun') )
  8              then trunc(sysdate)+1+6/24
  9         else next_day( trunc(sysdate), 'Mon' )+6/24
10         end interval_date
11   from dual
12  /

  6                    );
  7  end;
