RE: Suspending batch jobs?

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One issue I haven't seen mentioned in all the HLDJOB type responses, and
isn't clear in your question, is whether these 'purges' are using files
that other users may require during the day, and the impact of any
object locks on those files for other jobs if you just held the job.
