Re: Causing a command to be executed in another job

[jpcarr@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Boy,  Haven't heard this question in a good number of years.     Too bad
you never caught Greg Veal's   "It's all done with Mirrors(crossed out)
Messages" sessions sometime in the last 15 years.  -:)

Yes,   It's called a Request Processing Program(or break handling program).
You have a job message queue set for break messages,   You can do nearly
anything in the target job,
(Even look at it's LDA   (that was for you Jon,   :-)

Hmm,  What level of security adoption was that job running anyway ??
That's neat.

Take a look at the CL Progammers Guide......... Oh that;s right, sorry,
that was the Sys/38 name for the manual.

I've been asked to see if y'all know how to run a
command in a different job. I see something in MSGQs for
break-handling program - is that it? You can't send a
message to the program message queue and use this
method, can you?

Appreciate any ideas.
