We do CL on BPCS Menus for an enormous volume of our Queries ... but ideally 
we want the 
RCDSLT(*YES) to kick in & capture whatever the user wants, then we want
SBMJOB to kick in & execute the whole thing on batch JOBQ ... as yet I do not 
know if this is doable, or how.
I got instructions using embedded question marks from one of the 400 on-line 
forums & tried it out & kept running into error messages that I cannot 
combine question marks with RUNQRY ... ie. if doable I still not getting how 
do.

I have the unenviable position of several users who WANT to run Query with 
RCDSLT(*YES) onto JOBQ batch because they now know that interactive query 
over large files has a serious overall performance problem, but I have not 
yet figured out how to deliver that capability in CL.  In fact, if I figure 
out how, I can change a bunch of CL to do that even for users who did not ask 
for it, and so improve performance for everyone.
