Paul,

You can retrieve old request messages with the Retrieve Request Message API
and execute it with the Process a Command API. On SBMJOB you should use the
RQSDTA parameter.

To write your own command processor you can send a request message with Send
Programme Message API (TYPE(*RQS)) and immediately retrieve the message with
Retrieve Programme Message API. Then the command will not be executed, but is
logged in the call stack..

All API's mentioned are in the Message API manual.

Carel.
