Re: PWRDWNSYS - job termination

Rob,
a technique to handle the "went to lunch" that I want
to get to is adding the data queue to my display files,
changing my EXFMT to WRITE screen, wait on data queue, READ screen,
if data queue times out, RETURN to previous screen...

We tried using the SIGTERM to our interactive programs, but we hit a
roadblock in that "once in a blue moon" a job would get stuck trying to
spawn another thread with the shutdown process, but the end was happening after we did a ENDSBS *CNTRLD command (i.e. no more new threads...)

That rpg feature does what it should, but it doesn't do what we need. If
someone's sitting on a 5250 screen for program INVxxx and went to lunch
and someone kicks off a *CNTRLD end that program will sit there until the
time out ends on the *CNTRLD and autoinitiates an *IMMED. I'd rather a
simple indicator would be activated, like function keys are. That would
then return control back to the program, as if someone hit a function key
or some such thing.
