RE: PSDS System Date / InternalJobID

[dkeck@xxxxxxx]

To put things in perspective ... the application is a utility that a programmer 
may fire up and close down several times during the day.  I want to preserve 
session-level (duration is life of interactive job) settings established in the 
morning so that they do not need to be re-established repeatedly during the 
day.  The utility should not impact the LDA as that could interfere with the 
programmers other actvities.  The activation group in which the utility runs 
may even be shut down, only to have the programmer fire up the utility again.  
I don't want the session defaults lost during this sequence.  Now it is true 
that "anything that _can_ be changed _can_ be changed", and I am mindful of 
this.  That's why the LDA, UDATE, and QDATE don't work.  The system date in the 
PSDS and the Internal Job ID from QRTVJOBI are good only if my original 
concerns about them are resolved.
