System Request Key

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

There is also the system exit point Presystem Request Program Exit
Program which allows a user program(s) to get control when SysReq is
used.  This program can, among other things, cause the system provided
system request menu to not be used.  This approach gives you a highly
flexible method to handle SysReq as you have complete program control.

The exit point is documented in the System API Reference chapter Work
Management Exit Programs.

>
>GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QGMNSYSR) +
>          OBJTYPE(*PNLGRP)   +
>          USER(USERA) AUT(*EXCLUDE)

>Or you can restrict access to certain individual commands used by the menu.
>The manual gives a complete list but the most obvious ones you might need
>to secure are: 1 - TFRSECJOB, and 2-  ENDRQS.
