Re: Is there a quick and easy way to check whether a job of a given name is active? Or whether a particular program is in use?

We create and ALCOBJ a *dtaara with the same name as the program. If it’s
locked program ends.

You can also use SQL to determine if a job is active. I think Simon showed
how to retrieve results from SQL select in clle.

You could also write the results of the SQL to a temporary table and see if
you have any records in there.

I've got a periodic update job. It's set to start up in the morning from
a job schedule entry, then run every 5 minutes (by self-perpetuating up

Most of the time, it's waiting for its scheduled launch time (most
iterations run to completion in under a minute).

And I've got a program that could potentially get in a fight with the
periodic update. Is there a quick and easy way for, say, a CL program to
determine whether it's actually running?
