Re: swap QTEMPs

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The situation I want to get away from is if the sign on
abnormal ends without doing # 4.

Say you do #1, #2, #3... and then go to lunch while it's
running.  Someone else comes along, sees your away,
and ends you job.

Or, you do #1, #2, #3, get called away, get auto disconnected
after an hour.  Forget about it, 4 hours later the job goes bye
bye (that is the times on our system).

In either of these cases the QTEMP pointer is messed up,
as I have come to believe.  Because you were not able to
reinstate the old QTEMP before you ended the job.  That
is the situation I would like to get away from before I could
even think about using this technique.

Pointers pointing to la-la land can be kept on the Windows
operating systems.  We don't need to introduce windows type
bugs to the AS/400.

Regards,

Jim Langston
