re: What causes Mapics Job to end at Status 50?

Al,

This is not a MAPICS problem, it's something happening on your AS/400.  The 
description for status 50 is "The job ended while the job was active."  This 
happens for things like the subsystem being ended *IMMED, interactive jobs 
being inactive longer than the QINACTITV value (which isn't the case here), and 
some other reasons that escape me at the moment.  You need to look at your 
QSYSOPR message queue or QHST log at what was happening between about 3:30 and 
3:45. Are you sure there aren't any messages in the joblog before the end that 
say anything like 'Subsystem ending immediately' or something else that 
wouldn't come from MAPICS?
