Hi Rick, are you sure you're not making things unnecessarily complicated for yourself. I guess you can probably do what you want to do using jobq priorities, but would it not be easier, and provide a more flexible and more manageable solution if you used multiple job queues. There is little overhead in using multiple job queue entries in a single (batch) subsystem; different jobs or job types can then be submitted to different queues - programatically easy, end-users on command lines are less easy to control. Job queues can be individually held/released - manually or by job-schedule entries, and activity levels set individually. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Jeffrey E.

I have several such jobs that are scheduled to run at certain times of the day. using addjobscde or chgjobscde is very limited in what you can do as far as setting up library lists, jobptys, etc, so I only use the jobscde to submit another job, with all the sbmjob parameters I need to run the actual job. My problem is that I think that i'm not getting the second submit job in the proper job prty thread. To test, i created a CLP that does nothing but 'wait 400' seconds. Then, I submitted it like this to simulate the job being submitted from a jobscde: SBMJOB CMD( SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(STOPJOBQ)) JOB(SBM4) JOBQ(QGPL/MLTFTPJOBQ) JOBPTY(4)) JOB(SBMJOBD) JOBQ(QGPL/MLTFTPJOBQ) it submitted the first job to pty 5 (the jobd default), which then submitted the call to STOPJOBQ, supossedly to JOBPTY(4). problem is, I go to the job in QBATCH subsystem, and it says it's running under 5, not 4 subsequent submits of the same command sit behind that submit, in pty 5. what gives? does anyone have any ideas about how I can get this to work properly? thanks, Rick _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by ITM.
