RE: Detemine job completion status

Two problems:
1) Wouldn't this cause the procedure to never end if the completion
message got deleted before it gets to it?

2) The goal for this procedure is to make it generic enough that the
submitter will not need to worry about anything but do a callp on
trdWaitForAllThreadToComp.  Below will impose a rule of how job need to
be submitted for this procedure to work.

Lim,

Create a message queue in a library that all the jobs can access.  When
you submit the jobs use the MSGQ parameter on the SBMJOB command to
point to that message queue.  Have your process check that message queue
for completion messages.  Check which message is received to determine
if the job completed normally or abnormally.

You could also create one message queue for each submitted job and then
your process has to check multiple message queues.

By default these messages usually go to the user profile's message queue
so instead of creating a message queue you could also check the user
profile message queue.  However, you'll have to deal with other messages
on the user profile message queue.
