One approach (which may be as much taboo as altering the OS command, but
is
actually much less risky) is to put commands named RLSJOBQ, HLDJOBQ and
whatever else floats your boat into a separate library. These commands
would be attached to your own programs that do the logging, then execute
QSYS/RLSJOBQ (etc.). Actually, there's good reason to do the QSYS thing
before your logging. In any case, then put this library ahead of QSYS in
the system library list. The only things that would have to reside in
that
library would be the *CMD objects. This works very well. In fact, I
would
avoid any alteration to IBM-supplied objects even if the system is under
my
control.
