Re: Prestart jobs... how does it work ?

I wasn't postulating. I was just taking what the manual said.

PGM*Specifies the qualified name of the program run by the prestart job.
This program name is used to match an incoming request with an available
prestart job*. Two entries with the same program name can exist in a single
subsystem description, but they must have different library names. If the
program does not exist when the entry is added, a library qualifier must be
specified because the qualified name is retained in the subsystem
description.

The name of the the program can be qualified by one of the following
library values:

**LIBL:* All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the
first match is found.

**CURLIB:* The current library for the job is searched. If no library is
specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

library-name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

program-name: Specify the name of the program to be run by the prestart job.

Oh, well. Doesn't matter. Spawn works and I have wrappered it so it simple
to use.

The only issue I have heard with spawn is that Scott said that spawn has a
memory leak although I was unable to reproduce it.

None of the examples does mention this!!! It was you, pretending that you
can't make a userjob to act as prestarted job and this is in contradiction
to the documentation, the examples and could easily be proofed!!!

Have a nice evening
