Re: WRKSBMJOB, WRKUSRJOB slug-li

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

When you use WRK* charts of information, do you visit one time with a job 
session, then go do some other work & then return later, or do you sit on the 
WRK* screens with occasional F5?  Do you have multiple users doing this?

I have multiple power users whom I have told about WRKUSRJOB & we heavily use 
WRKSPLF & WRKOUTQ & this & that, many of which have been put on end user 
menus so they can rapidly see their reports, their messages, their JOBQ.  But 
these IBM programs can be a bit of a drain on the system if used heavily.

If a person is sitting at WRK whatever with heavy use of F5, that can cause 
system to be sluggish.

Sometimes a sluggish system is symptomatic of some other problem ... in other 
words it is not a particular program or command that is sluggish but the 
entire computer due to someone running an inefficient query on-line instead 
of in batch, or some program design problem.

There is also the issue of a company aquiring a new box in which the sizing 
questionnairre was not used correctly, so now they have the wrong model, 
inadequate processor, insufficient memory, etc.
