I don't think so...  As I recall, a single job will only run on one CPU.  I'm 
not sure if using spawn() to launch new process threads would used additional 
CPU resources (different processor), but that could be tested easily.  Scott 
Klement had an article entitled "Don't Submit, Spawn!" that shows how to use 
spawn() in ILERPG.

Of course, using NEP or daemon jobs to distribute your processing logic across 
multiple service jobs would do the same thing...

First of all, I think you need a special LPP to use SMP.

I'm not sure if Record Level Access (F specs vs imbedded sql) in RPG can 
utilize SMP.  Sorry.
