  • Subject: 436 CL Help!
  • From: Tim Truax <truax@xxxxxxxxx>

Hello all and Thanks in advance for your answers:

We have the CL below that we put together but the submitted CHGDTAARA
command is not working...why?  This job was put together to hold up our
S36 side processing until we are sure that several 3rd party software
SUBMITTED AS400 jobs have copmpleted running.  Initially we put the word
MOVING into the data array then we submit the CHGDTAARA that will not
run until all the previously submitted As400 jobs are complete then the
data array will have the value DONE placed in it, then our CL Loop will
self terminate...we thought... The submitted CHGDTAARA command isn't
working but when we go in from a screen and do the CHGDTAARA command to
change our data array to be DONE it stops the loop sequence.
