Re: Limiting (but not stopping) interactive query by user

Hi Simon,

You might be onto something! I assume the only reason CHGQRYA doesn't
affect batch is because batch submitted queries would have a different job
name etc,? This could be good for us, because we don't want to use the
system value if it limits batch.

I'm also downloading the trial version of CHGQRYOPT, so I'll let you know
what I think.


Thanks

You could use the CHGQRYA command in the initial program for each user
to set the QRYTIMLMT for each job. This would not affect batch queries.
The CHGQRYA command requires the user to have *JOBCTL so the program
must adopt suitable authority.

If you want more control over the query attributes you could use the
CHGQRYOPT command in the base component of ONcmd. This is a free
feature. See

for more information.
