Re: OfficeVision job scheduler

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Well, you could secure WRKJOBSCDE and then have an adopted program do a
WRKJOBSCDE SCDBY(&USER).
Or you could name the jobs by group, example WRKJOBSCDE JOB(G01*).  We have
a few hundred jobs in our scheduler and this works quite nice for us.

One reason _not_ to do this is security.  By using the Officevision
Calendar Scheduler (OCS), each user was restricted to his/her jobs.
With WRKJOBSCDE, everybody could see everyone else's jobs.  We actually
had to get the Advanced Job Scheduler from IBM to be able to duplicate
this ability in OCS.
