RE: Subsystem monitor job

[Tom Daly <Tdaly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is just the problem, *IMMED really is pretty immediate.  If there's a
bunch of jobs running some jobs don't wake up quickly enough to finish
properly before the SBS ends.  I thought about creating my own ENDSBS
command....  It'd be fine on _my_ machine but not on customers'.

One of the manuals has an example program of creating your own 'batch
machine'.  Looks simple enough, just need to know what queue to listen on.
It looks like the sbs monitor jobs run pgm QWTMCMNL... I tried poking around
to see if I could figure this thing out but no luck.

 |  Rich,
 |
 |  Does your program really get a chance to recognize the
 |  shutdown and end
 |  itself event if it is ended *IMMED.  I seem to remember
 |  that a job being
 |  ended *IMMED won't get this chance, it has to be ended
 |  *CNTRLD with a long
 |  enough wait so that it can get to the point where it checks
 |  for shutdown.
