You don't really need to create an extra subsystem for this sort of
thing.  Just submit them to QSYSNOMAX and they will run in QSYSWRK,
which is intended for the sort of thing you describe.  At V4R4 there is
also a QUSRWRK subsystem, which would be even more appropriate.

As to why your jobs fail, that is unlikely to be related to the
subsystem, though it's not impossible.  You need to investigate the
joblogs and any dumps they produce.  If you're not seeing anything
useful in the joblogs change the jobs (or their job descriptions) to
have LOG(4 0 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES).

Cheers,

Martin.
