Re: monitoring for program going in message wait

Santosh:

Although it's fairly easy to detect which jobs have a MSGW status, it's not so 
easy to determine whether that status results from a job waiting on a reply to 
an inquiry message or waiting on RCVMSG with WAIT(nnn).

If you know that certain jobs will usually be doing RCVMSG, you can probably 
exclude them in your code. But if you don't know ahead of time, you might need 
to search the joblog of each of the MSGW jobs to see if there are inquiry 
messages with Reply Status of 'W' (waiting for a reply). The List Jobs 
(QUSLJOB) API will tell you jobs that are MSGW, and the List Job Log Messages 
(QMHLJOBL) API can help locate the inquiry messages.
