You are incorrect in believing that the system reply list affects ALL jobs 
whether you want 
that or not.  It ONLY affects jobs which have the INQMSGRPY attribute set to 
*SYSRPYL.  Since 
this is a controllable attribute (via the *JOBD or CHGJOB command) you can 
control which jobs 
are affected and which are not.  You can even turn it on and off around 
critical sections of 
code.

It is also a little difficult to use RCVMSG to handle this situation because 
the CPA4076 
message is sent synchrounously and your program has stopped and is waiting for 
the message to 
be answered before it gets control.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
