Loyd consider that maybe you shouldn't suspend the batch job.  Instead
set up a separate subsystem to run these jobs in.  You can then make
that subsystem the lowests priority on the system and restrict the
amount of memory it can use so that the jobs do not impact your daily
operations.  I am not an expert on work management but I believe you can
limit the impact without too much trouble.  If you suspend the job it
may retain locks on resources which may affect other processing.
