This is to everybody that said the DLYJOB.  The job is now in WRKACTJOB,
WRKSBSJOB WRKUSRJOB as Active.  If you have more than one job that does
something every half hour or every 5 minutes These jobs are always out there
cluttering things up.  You can submit the job to a jobq that has *NOMAX as
number of jobs with a sceduled time to start 30 minutes from the time it is
ended.  To me this seems the cleanest way.  and if it's starting once per
half hour, I think the time spent to start the job is less than the time to
keep it running (even if it's in a DLY status)
