The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I'm a little late to the discussion, but I use ALCOBJ OBJ((LIBRARY/PROGRAM *PGM *EXCL)) WAIT(1), at the beginning of the program and keep the lock until it is complete. If I can't get a lock I know that it is already running.

Smart. I've been known to move compilation jobs over to the QINTER queue when the QBATCH queue was clogged and the system was relatively quiet; while it's certainly possible for two compilation jobs to get in a fight, it's not especially likely.
And over the weekend, I thought of a simple, but elegant way to keep programs from fighting with each other, even if their job queue does get changed to dispatch multiple jobs concurrently.
For the moment, though, since there's only one of me, and I have a brushfire to put out elsewhere, just having them in a job queue that keeps them from fighting should do.
