Check the archives - several people helped me with this a month or so ago - I 
am now of the opinion I need to write some generic CL that simulates what 
BPCSMENU does when a user signs on --- pass all that to the IBM Scheduler, 
and also give some thought to how best to differentiate which environment 
this is to run in.

Look for the thread titled "Quickie Answer = Job Scheduler" --- if you can't 
find it, I will dig up my copies & forward them to you, outside BPCS_L

I am still a rank amateur here - I would love to have MRP500 MRP600 CST600 & 
various other heavy hitters do their thing off the IBM AS/400 Job Scheduler.  
I also think we need a SYSMSGQ of sorts that gets a log that they actually 
ran when, because out-of-sight out-of-mind leads to people asking "Does 
anyone know when was the last time we ran CST900?" or whatever.  If we had a 
MSGQ named after various heavy-jobs --- DSPMSG MRP would tell us which 
facilities got taken care of when.
