Re: message wrapped error -- MIDRANGE-L

Generally I leave it at *NOWRAP.  I had one person that said his job 
filled up and wanted me to change it.  That would have been one way of 
handling it.  However we found out that his job had an infinite loop that 
was going nuts.  The *NOWRAP stopped it.  Now, you can override this on 
specific jobs, either through the job description, or through CHGJOB.  And 
if you have a job that is doing something rather intense, like a GO 
RESTORE, option 21, this may make sense.  (Definitely *PRTWRAP, not just 
*WRAP.  If I had used just *WRAP I would have lost too much.)
Another problem is that people often crank up the logging on some jobs to 
log every little thing. Now, it may have made sense when first 
implemented, but perhaps it's time to dial it back down a little. However, 
if you refuse to dial it down, and, you are some perfect programmer and 
know that you'll never get an infinite loop, then this might be the one 
exception to use *WRAP.  If it aborts you'll still get the tail end of the 
job log to analyze.  But I'd change that either through the job 
description, or CHGJOB and leave the system value at *NOWRAP.

Re: message wrapped error







There is a system value, QJOBMSGQMX, the maximum size of a job message
queue, and another QJOBMSGQFL, which is the action that the system takes
when a message queue fills.  The system value QJOBMSGQFL is shipped as
*NOWRAP, which is bad.  I tell people to change it to *WRAP, or *PRTWRAP,
which says print a job log and then wrap.  The action can be changes from
SBMJOB and CHGJOB, the size can only be set at the system value level.

Good Morning,

We had a job running this weekend and got the following message:


Job message queue for 986884 has been wrapped.


Cause . . . . . : The size of the job message queue for 986884 reached the
maximum size.  The maximum size is defined in the jobmsgqmx value of the
job description used by the job.


The message we are trying to send is." The job has completed".
