Jim,

With all due respect, most people try to size their system as necessary,
but there are just some jobs that take longer than we would like. File
re-orgs, OPNQRYF, SQL requests, purges and the like take a long time. I
think you are asking for trouble killing these jobs. In the olden days,
killing these types of jobs would leave damage on your system, but IBM has
fixed many of those types of jobs. But please whatever you do, do not kill
my purge program.

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a solution to my problem of long running reports. Everyone
once in a while a user gets carried away and submits a very, very large
report to the system. What I would like to do is kill any reports that run
for more than X minutes. These reports run in our reporting
queue/subsystem, so it would be safe to kill any job in that subsystem
that's been running for more that X minutes.

Any ideas on how best to accomplish this? Or am I off the mark in trying
this?
