RE: Batch Job Help

Thanks Simon.

After I sent this email, I checked maxjobs and sure enough it was set to
one.   I changed it and the job went through.

What on earth makes you think that submitting it again will somehow 
make things work?

Check the following:
        1) Is the job held on the queue?
        2) Is the job queue held?
        3) Is the job queue attached to a subsystem?
        4) Is the subsystem active?
        5) Does the subsystem have a free activity level for the job?
        6) Is the subsystem ending controlled?
        7) Is the system ending controlled?
        8) Is the job queue restricted to a single job at a time and is
there 
already a batch job active in the subsystem? (Perhaps in a wait state?)
        9) Are the maximum number of jobs already active from that job
queue?
        10) Are the maximum number of jobs for that priority already
active 
from the job queue?

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. One of them is likely 
to be the cause.
