Re: Job control on SBMJOB using CAE Activex

A number of possibilities come to mind.

1. The program submitted sends a message to a message queue, or an entry to 
a data queue. I don't remember if the former can be monitored through CAE 
ActiveX, data queues certainly can be.
2. There is a job notification exit point (actually a data queue) which can 
be set to generate an entry for every job in a subsystem, in various states 
- put on a job queue, start running, end, etc. CAE ActiveX, again, could 
wait on this queue and take action, based on the job name you use.
