Re: Inactive job Timeout - QINACTITV

The system value qinactmsgq can be used so that when the system determines a
job is inactive, instead of cancelling the job, a message is sent to the
specified queue. The following is a simple clp to read that msgq a determine
which to cancel. I start the job during the qstrup job at ipl, and it runs
all the time. The rpg pgm Timeoutr has all the logic of which users or
devices do or don't get cancelled.  The rpg is simple, butf you need the
code, email me.

        PGM        /* read records from timeout msgq (updated  by sysval
qinactmsgq).
                        If not selected user/device, end job */
        DCL        VAR(&MSG) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(132)
        DCL        VAR(&END) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
        DCL        VAR(&USER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
        DCL        VAR(&DEVICE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
        DCL        VAR(&JOB#) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
     $READ:      RCVMSG     MSGQ(TIMEOUT) WAIT(*MAX) RMV(*YES) MSG(&MSG)
        SNDPGMMSG  MSG(&MSG) /* msg so it shows in qhst log */
        CALL       PGM(TIMEOUTR) PARM(&MSG &END &DEVICE &USER &JOB#)
IF         COND(&END = 'Y') THEN(DO)
        SNDPGMMSG  MSG('job ended') /* show in qhst that we cancelled */
        ENDJOB     JOB(&JOB#/&USER/&DEVICE)
        MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)
        ENDDO
        GOTO       CMDLBL($READ)
         ENDPGM
