RE: backups on AS/400; part2

How about this then:

System request 3 to bring up WRKJOB. Will that suspend the DLYJOB ? My 
guess is it will. I seem to recall trying this once before, but I might 
check it again at work.

Also, since Dan didn't say whether he was making the profile LMTCPB(*YES) 
or not, I'll assume he hasn't and my WRKJOB turns into a hack.

The system request hole can be closed: theres an API or Exit (whose name 
escapes me) that can be used to close this hole, or I  guess you could use 
an OVRMSGF to override the msgf system request uses to get its options.

Cheers
