Hello All.  I've been off of the list for a while and recently  
re-subscribed now that I've once again had additional AS/400  
responsibilities thrown at me - but it's nice to be back.

Recently an old ongoing problem has reared it's ugly head and caused me  
fits - that of rogue users running queries interactively during normal  
business hours.  This of course results in numerous complaints about  
response time, etc.  As I recall from way back then, there really wasn't  
a whole lot one could do to stop or restrict these miscreants.  However  
quite some time has passed (since I've been involved or concerned about  
the issue anyway), and I wondered if there has been any new light shed on  
the matter.  Also, we've since upgraded from V3r1 to V3r2 - any changes  
there that might help?

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse here - my apologies if that's the  
case.  Either way, I'd appreciate any feedback (short of anything  
resulting in insult or injury, that is).  Thanks in advance!

Here's the page from my system values presentation.  Note that the inquiry message could be dealt with the system reply list.  Also note that this limit can be changed for any job with the CHGQRYA command.  (These functions should have been included in the CHGJOB command.  Only God knows why they were'nt.)
