Re: SUBMIT JOB API

Hi Bryan,

I decided to not use spawn(). It produces a batch job that is "batch
interactive" (BCI) and I suspect that this is not exactly the same as using
SBMJOB, that produces a true BCH job. These may have a difference for sure.

My issue is actually another thing related to using two TLS secure sessions
that establish on the same job. The second one, when it tries to
connect to an external server and times out, it throws an exception that
appears to interfere with the resources that are supposedly already owned
by a first set of GSKit API handlers. This makes the first secure session
to end without me closing anything. I already found another way to solve
it and it is in turn submitting yet another job to handle the third-party
connection. This works good because it runs on a totally separated job
with its own resources and does not cause anymore the initial problem.
'
So I'll take this road.

I appreciate your time.
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure if this is still a need, but maybe the following would help.

I did find that there is a SPAWN tool included in QUSRTOOL. Option 7 for
57xxSS1

<help>
The Spawn Program (SPAWN) command spawns a program into a kernel
thread enabled process. Optionally, the user issuing the SPAWN
command can pass parameters to the spawned program, can wait for the
program to finish before returning control to the caller, can start
the native debugger on the called program, and can enable User/(CPA)
tracing in the called program.

Two environment variables are set each time a program is
successfully spawned by this command: LAST_SPAWNED_JOBNAME is set to
the qualified job name of the spawned program and LAST_SPAWNED_PID
is set to its process id (pid). This information is also reported
in a message to the joblog.

Good day everyone. Is there a specific API that can submit a job without
having to use the SBMJOB command?

I know that there exist a few that "spawn" BCI -type of jobs. I would

like

not to use those, but neither do I want to use the SBMJOB command. I

need

an API that can be called or bound to an RPG or C program but that its
parameters are the same as those that the SBMJOB command takes.

Thanks in advance.
