RE: WRKJOB JOBNAME (w/o userID&job#) -- MIDRANGE-L

Dan,

I rolled my own with a job API (QUSLJOB) and some user space API's and brute
ignorance.

Its pretty basic but lets you look up jobs using only partial job name.  eg
QPADEV*

I wrote it originally to KILL some BPCS SMG worlds before the nightly
backups.  As they're cunningly named with a similar prefix this utility
works a treat.

I then added simple code to let you look at the spool files or work with job
or hold/release jobs using qcmdexc to run cl commands.  Implememted it as a
command so doesn't build a nice screen simply builds list of jobs in user
space then applies required action to all jobs in list.

Really quick and dirty thing but available as a starting point if you want
it. Its not RPGILE just bog standard RPG.  I don't have time to play with
new fangled stuff like ILE.

Regards

Graham Smith
