Re: ENDSBS in QCTL

[Thomas Garvey <tgarvey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess it's NOT a batch job (it does show as ASJ in the Type column of 
the WRKACTJOB display, rather than BCH). I put the BCHTIMLMT parameter 
onto the ENDSBS *ALL command and got this...

Message ID . . . . . . : CPF105A       Severity . . . . . . . :   40
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent  . . . . . . :   04/12/21      Time sent  . . . . . . :   
16:25:46

Message . . . . :   ENDSBS *ALL not allowed in current environment.
Cause . . . . . :   ENDSBS *ALL with a batch time limit is allowed only 
from a
  batch job that is started from a job queue in the controlling subsystem.
*ENDSBS *ALL is not allowed from autostart,* batch immediate, 
communications
  evoked, prestart, multiple requester terminal, or Advanced 36 server 
jobs.
  ENDSBS *ALL is not allowed from a job that allows multiple threads.

So NOW it says this command can not be in an autostart job. That is not 
documented in the ENDSBS command definition.
I guess I have to change the autostart job to just submit the call to 
the Power Handler, rather than just call it.

Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey
