RE: can't kill a dataq program

Thanks to all that replied.
I put the kill switch process in and I can now end the process gracefully.

If the program has not ended in 10 minutes, you can use ENDJOBABN

But, I was wondering why you do 'end job' manually.

If you are already using DataQueues and QRCVDTAQ API, wouldn't it be easier to create another program to send a '*STOP' entry to the DataQ and have your program to finalize upon reading the DataQ entry? That would have a cleaner program end.

How are you performing the 'end job' ?

Subject: can't kill a dataq program

This might be more appropriate in the rpg list, but since I can't seem to kill my job I'll start here.

I'm trying to test some rpg programs that send and receive from a dataq.


The premise of the program(Program_A) is that when the dataq receives an entry it calls another program(Program_B).
This program(Program_B) checks to see if the order has printed. If it has, then return to Program_A.
If it hasn't printed then check elapsed time. If it hasn't met the threshold, then wait 15 seconds and put the order back in the dataq and return to Program_A
If it has reached the threshold, then send emails to appropriate people and return to Program_A.

Program_A is submitted to QBATCH and has a wait time of -1 on the QRCVDTAQ API.

I have a interactive program that sends entries to the dataq.



So testing,

I submit the receiving program. I perform a end job and the program ends. ( I have not sent anything to the dataq at this point)

I submit the receiving program again. Then I execute the interactive program to send data to the dataq.

It seems to being doing what I want so far(in limited testing).

Now I perform a end job but the program won't end.
I have repeated this scenario a couple of times and have to perform an IPL to get rid of this job.
