The original job executes in just a few seconds, the new job executes calls to web services that take maybe 45 seconds each to return results, so I'm reluctant to burden the original job with that kind of wait.  I normally use a call to QCMDEXC to launch (via sbmjob) such a job from RPG, but my question is more about passing a data structure ( like I'd do in a prototyped call ).  Is a data queue required here?  ...I have no experience with those.
