Responding to your request for debugging a batch job.

You have to submit the job on hold.

Then you have to do a STRSRVJOB.

Then you have to do a STRDBG.

then you have to release the job.

try that and see if it works,  it's been a while

The scholarship to attend COMMON is offered through the Education Foundation.  
The only link to that page, that I have found, is at the bottom of each page 
(www.common.org/foundation).

The scholarship is intended for educators: those who teach programming, design, 
etc., for the iSeries. 

There is another scholarship intended for students actually working towards a 
degree in IT.  This is a tuition reimbursement scholarship, not one to attend 
COMMON.

Eric,

Why wait for your employer to pay for your own education?
When you were at school (college / university) who was paying for your 
education? You or your parents, right?, no employer.

Take it on yourself to get (and choose) your own 'continuing' education.

For my very first COMMON, I told my boss I would be 'off' during that week. I 
told him "take it the way you want: vacations or leave of absence, I'll be at 
COMMON" I added: "And I won't ask you for anything, so I'll learn whatever I 
want". When he realized I was serious, he then offered to pay for 'some' of my 
expenses. He also realized it could only profit the company as I would be more 
knowledable. I could tell you that first week was one of the most exciting week 
I had, I was at COMMON from 7:30am to midnight, Sunday to Friday of that week. 
What a week!

That was in 1989 and I still attend COMMON at least once a year, sometimes 
twice!

Eric, take YOUR future in YOUR hands, go for it, you won't regret it.

As for vacations time, that's what my wife and I do when I (we) go to COMMON. 
Get there early (Saturday before the conference) and leave as late as possible 
(Sunday afternoon after the confernce). I sign her as a guest so she can walk 
around the conference at ease, come to opening & closing sessions, CUDS and few 
other events. She tours the city area while I attend sessions. We do our things 
during the day and meet after for dinner. My wife loves it as well, she often 
reminds me to "book for COMMON" until I do.

So Eric, will we see you in Orlando? - Great place for familly vacations
- COMMON is great too!.

Leo
