        Subject:        Work "Disconnected" Jobs?


We've recently had a spate of users who, while working on "native 400"
terminals (I hate to call them "dumb"...you know, these machines have
feelings too!), have accidentally disrupted the power (e.g. kicking out
the
plugs, bumping into power switches) resulting in their jobs going into the
"DSC" status. Now sometimes when they sign back on, they get the OS400
recovery options...and that is no problem. But many times the jobs are
disconnected, there is no recovery panels displayed and files opened for
update remained locked and unaccessible until the job is found and
terminated. Questions:

1. Since WRKACTJOB only picks up "active" jobs, is there any command or
service available that can display all of the jobs in "dsc" status?

2. Does anyone know why you sometimes get the recovery panels and other
times not?

Thanks again everybody.
