Hi all,

We have a job that's been around for years that everybody and his brother
runs on Monday mornings to get a report of labor hours over the weekend for
their facility, department, workcenter, etc.  It gets run sporadically
throughout the week.  It takes a couple of minutes to run and the job queue
tends to back up a bit.  It consists of a CL program wrapper that calls a
RPG program (that I converted to RPG IV two years ago).  It does:

OVRDBF     FILE(LABORRPT) SHARE(*YES)
OPNQRYF    FILE((LABORRPT)) FORMAT(*FILE) QRYSLT(' +
{more selection stuff goes here}

and then has a
DLYJOB     DLY(60)

before doing another OVRDBF and OPNQRYF on another file before it actually
calls the RPG.

The program needs rewritten for several reasons but due to other priorities
it probably won't happen soon.  Aside from the "business" reasons of many
people running the same report over and over, is there any need for the
DLYJOB that anyone can think of?  If not, removing it could knock about 20
minutes of lost time.  There's nothing about OPNQRYF that needs a delay is
there?  Thanks.
