Re: Break handling program

[Mike Berman <mikeba777@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Printer File that is defined as going to a specific printer, in the 
Printer File command/attributes. The Program does this:
                                          
OVRPRTF FILE(          ) OUTQ(          ) HOLD(    ) SAVE(    )  
 
So it seems to me that whoever runs this program their output will go to this 
particular printer. I have a remote user who this affects. I wasn't sure if I 
should change the PRINTER FILE to go to *JOB, or to Make a duplicate of this 
file, put it in this Users lib, change her JOBD so that this lib is first.
THanks,
Mike.

Break handling program






Hi all,

I've been asked to change the system in such a way as to interrupt
certain workstations at regular scheduled times to perform an often
forgotten task.

I'm considering using a break message handling program, which can be set
up via the CHGMSGQ command, and then have a scheduled job send a message
to the workstations at the proper times.

First off, are there any other better methods for such a task?

The more difficult problem with this method is that the CHGMSGQ command
needs to be run every time a user logs into the workstation. At this
site, the initial program is sacred for political reasons and must not
be modified.

How might I have a new job run a command without changing the initial
program?

Thanks.
