Karen, Just be careful if the ALCOBJ job is in the same queue as the rest of the overnight run, that the queue is not single threaded, or the entire run will sit and wait for the DLYJOB to expire. In any case the job will be taking up one of the threads available to the queue unless the queue's entry is set to *NOMAX. QCTL is often a better subsystem for running jobs with a long DLYJOB than QBATCH.
