RE: Why do people set up their batch submission defaults to run multiple batch jobs at the same time?

Well, I used to use EVOKE all over the place on a S/36 system that I programmed. When I inherited this system, which still has tons of RPG II programs and defaults to the 36 environment, I was surprised that there was a single EVOKE to be found. They may have eradicated all of them when they moved it to the AS/400, but I couldn't find a single JOBQ command either; everything was interactive no matter how long it took to run (most things, admittedly, not very long). I'm guessing that it comes down to people (users) wanting instant gratification or not wanting to train them how to work with submitted jobs.

The S/36 evoke is emulated with the QS36EVOKE job queue. Basically it's a
job queue set to *NOMAX. See also QSYSNOMAX job queue assigned to the
QSYSWRK subsystem. I would not suggest you use QSYSNOMAX for user based
applications.
