RE: QZSHSH joblogs -- MIDRANGE-L

Gary

That does seems a little nasty. But if all you want is to delete the logs, could there be a job that waits on messages to that message queue, records the job info in a table, and another job that waits on that table and deletes the logs?

Or maybe the answer is the venerable one - change the job description for the SQH jobs to *NOLIST.

Maybe?

Vern --

Thanks for the suggestion.  I find this solution to be pretty ugly.  The
inquiry messages are sent to the message queue of the user running the
program.  If mulitiple jobs are running, each invoking QSH, you have no idea
which QZSHSH and QP0ZSPWP belong to which QSH invocation so you could end up
deleting the wrong things.

I'm going to open a PMR on this and see what IBM has to say.  Hopefully,
they'll have some ideas.

Thanks,
Gary
