I dont think so. You are very specific in the command. >

As Dave Kahn mentioned you are trying to change the data area directly
with a SBMJOB not using a program (which I assumed).

My suggestion is put a DLYJOB after the SBMJOB for say 60 seconds and
then do RTVDTAARA.  The JOBPTY(5) may be making the job wait in batch
for a while allowing higher priority jobs to run first !  

Of course, as you progress in your learning you will learn about
messages and retrieving information about jobs.  The AS/400 is full of
wonders and there is never a dull day.
