Re: How can I retrieve the RQSDTA of a batch job ?

Hello Jeff,

That's more code than you need (unless you actually want to do something with 
the 
request).

            PGM                     
            STRCMTCTL  LCKLVL(*CHG) 
            TFRCTL     PGM(QCMD)    
            ENDPGM                  

is all that is required and it has the added advantage of not truncating long 
commands.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
