Assuming OS/400 is installed, one thing you COULD do is place a native AS/400
SBMJOB command in the OCL -- directing it to a different JOBQ.  You cannot
prompt the SBMJOB command within a member type of OCL36.  I cheat and change
the type to CLP until I'm through prompting, and then change it BACK to
OCL36.
