RE: HELP!! DLYJOB command -- MIDRANGE-L

I suggest you use: SNDMSG MSG(TEST) TOUSR(*ALLACT)
This will send the message as normal delivery and only break at message   
queues that are set to break.  The other benefit is that it only sends it   
to workstations that are actively signed onto the system.

This avoids a lot of the old messages that we see on workstations message   
queues.

Gee ... now that you mention it ... yes, there is a scheduled job at   
10:00pm
that sends a message via sndbrkmsg to all workstations advising them that   

batch production is about to begin and to log off.  I hadn't thought   
about
that before.  Could this be the culprit?  Though it does beg the question   
..
'why didn't the operators see or tell me about the message?', but that's
between me and them I guess (unless the console does not receive break
messages?).  I hadn't really understood until now that sndbrkmsg messages   

are not held up by the chgmsgq *hold option.  I'm not really up on that
stuff.  I'll plan on testing the delay both with and without a sndbrkmsg
message thrown in.  Of course you can all see the next question coming,
can't you ....

If this is in fact the cause of all my woes, is there a way to keep   
sending
that message out to all users without interfering with this delayed   
backup
job?

Thanks kindly!

Bob Clarke
