RE: GRPJOB

Vern,

This is the IBM text that I'm concerned about :

<<The Transfer to Group Job (TFRGRPJOB) command suspends the job that issued the TFRGRPJOB command and the group job specified by the GRPJOB parameter is resumed (if it already exists) or is created (if it does not exist).>>

Each time I try, a new group job is created. I'd like to be able to resume an existing one.

The Esc key is mapped to be the ATTN key - that is what gives
you a group job - shift-esc give you SYSREQ most of the time
- of course, these can be changed in almost any emulator. But
it is not functioning as an ESC key, rather as the ATTN

Thanks,

When I hit escape, I transfer to the group job. When I come

back, I can show the log that says my job did this :

CHGGRPA GRPJOB(MYGROUP)
TFRGRPJOB GRPJOB(ATTN) INLGRPPGM(MYPGM)

WrkActJob shows :

MYJOB FOXWELL INTER GROUPE

GRP-MYGROUP

INTER ACTIF

The second line being the group job.

How do I know if a group job is already active before

transferring to it?

David,

IIRC, it works as designed.

You can have maximum 16 group jobs, but each should have a name;
group jobs are seperate jobs for the system, not one job

as a whole.

The groups job are associated with the user at job start: the JOBD
assigned to the user will determin the LIBL.

If not a group job selected, it will open the last

activated; other

group jobs are suspended.

Apparently you have only one (unnamed) group job with its initial
LIBL.
Changing the LIBL in one group job will not affect the LIBL of
another group job.

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler

Hello everyone,

A user seems to be having a problem with a library list

after accessing

a

group job. The escape button transfers to a group job and in some
cases

does not show the intended screen but another one. This

button can be

used

starting from different library lists.

Example : user is using pgmA with libary list L1. Escape executes
EscPgm

in GRPJOB and shows screen1. User returns to pgmA. Later in pgmA,
user

changes library list to L2. EscPgm if called should now

show screen2

but

still shows screen1.

I can't see where exactly the TFRGRPJOB command is

executed. Also,

could

the GRPJOB already exist when control is transfered so

that the wrong

library list is being used?
