Re: DSPJRN Discrepency - Watch Out!

[Kirk Goins <kgoins@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I aggree. My point was in the case of QZDASOINIT  jobs. For example in 
PeopleSoft 3-Tier setup or other ClientServer jobs that a single
QZDASOINIT job services any number of users and a individual users my be 
serviced by multiple QZDASOINIT.

With that said you need to be careful ref. entires made by QZDASOINIT...
