Re: Interactive Queries - again!

[Paul Tuohy <tuohyp@xxxxxxx>]

Mark,

Prior to V3R1 this was about the only way of stopping interactive
queries from potentially killing the system. The introduction of the
CHGQRYA command and the QQRYTIMLMT system value brought a means of
controlling the interactive query overhead - on a job by job basis if
required.

IMHO Interactive queries can be of enormous benefit to users and we
should do our best to provide the facility.
