Don,
Thanks. That's a good idea. Normally we schedule everything with Robot,
which wouldn't be running while getting a SWA checkpoint. I had forgotten
that the OS/400 job scheduler would still be working. I'll check it out.
Thanks!

Hey Dave,
Just a quick suggestion to your TCP/IP issue. There
are probably more elaborate procedures, but just
simply place a program to restart to your TCP/IP on
the job schedular and have it set to kick off about 30
minutes after the SWA would normally bring it back up.
