RE: How can I retrieve the RQSDTA of a batch job ?

Many thanks, the solution is perfect.  I had been trying to receive the
message from the program queue and getting nowhere ... *EXT gave me just
what I wanted - I need to start committment control before every submitted
batch job - this saves amending all the program code and re-compiling.
Thanks again.

             PGM                                             
             DCL               VAR(&RQSDTA) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256)    
             RCVMSG       PGMQ(*EXT) MSGTYPE(*RQS) MSG(&RQSDTA)
             STRCMTCTL  LCKLVL(*CHG)                         
             CALL             PGM(*LIBL/QCMDEXC) PARM(&RQSDTA 256) 
             RETURN                                          
             ENDPGM

Here's something from the old archives, it's more cut than paste so beware.
Create this program and use it instead of QCMD in an routing entry.
