Re: need for a new CPF catch MONMSG

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

If this job is not mission critical, put it in a different jobq than the 
mission critical stuff, a job queue where it can sit in an error state 
until you get around to it.

Another point is placement of the MONMSG CPF0000.  If you put this at 
the beginning of the program, it will apply globally to all commands in 
the program; if you place it immediately after a particular command, it 
will only apply to that command.

So if you really don't care whether the program completes successfully, 
you can do a global MONMSG.  Also, the ones i've seen also ignore 
MCH0000.  But the better solution is to handle expected errors by 
monitoring for them specifically and doing something appropriate.
