Re: Job Queue Entry Limit?

[Ed_DeRyder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

According to the OS/400 Work Management manual:

How Many Jobs on a Job Queue:  There is no set limit to the number of jobs 
that can be on a job queue.  It is limited only by how much work the 
system can handle. 

Thanks, IBM, for that clear answer.  I suppose the only way to know the 
limit is to actually try it.  I'd hate to execute the WRKJOBQ command 
against such a heavily populated job queue, though.

To mirrow someone else's curiosity, what kind of application requires this 
many jobs?  Can the application be rewritten to use one never-ending job 
instead of 150,000 individual jobs?
