A good idea, but I was under the impression that TFRJOB was strictly a
batch function.  You even mention the QCTL jobq.  So, presuming you've
done this <g>, can you give more details on this?  Reading the help
text, it appears that the interactive job transfers into the job
queue?!?!?  Are you really running an interactive job from batch?  Wow.

Am I correct to assume that this method wouldn't help me if I'm not
already signed on when QINTER is ended?  Sounds like Evan's method would
allow me to sign on even if QINTER is ended.  Although, you bring up
another issue with "randomly assigned QPADEVxxxx names".  We use CA
(v3r1m2; cuz lowest common denominator is OS/400 v3r2).  I seem to
recall that later versions of CA allowed you to fix the session names.

<sigh> What to do? What to do?
