Re: MCH3402 received when calling getHtmlIfsMult

Hello, All,

Take a look at the "Reroute Job" command.

Issuing:
    RRTJOB RTGDTA(QCMDI) RQSDTA(*NONE) 
or 
    RRTJOB    /* the above parameters are the defaults */

in an interactive session (job) ends the current "job step" and starts a new "job step" and thus "resets: your job step to a "virgin" state, just like it was when you first signed on. 

And, it does not alter the values of *CURLIB or the user *LIBL, etc., and is somewhat faster than signing-off and back on again.  

It also does not clear QTEMP, so you need to do that yourself, if needed.   

It does reset any *JOB level environment variables you may have set, so be aware of that.

I find RRTJOB to be very handy when debugging ... 

It shuts down all open activation groups in the job, closes all open files, and cleans out anything that is activated in the *DFTACTGRP ... 

This is also useful if you ever invoke any ILE *PGMs or *SRVPGMs in the default activation group (another of those "deadly sins"), because, as far as I can tell, this is the ONLY way to get those bound *PGMs and *SRVPGMs deactivated and removed from the "DAG", short of SIGNOFF -> SIGNON.

I hope others may find this "tip" useful.

All the best,
