Re: DSPACTJOB ? DSPSBMJOB ?

My experience has been that except with the really impatient users (you 
know, the ones you monitor...) that if they can see the job queue moving 
most people will wait their turn as long as everyone else has to do the same.

It comes down to how you sell job management and how much management 
support you get for it.

Having said that - I know the type of user you mean ! :)
