Re: CPF2526: Job MsgQ can't be extended. JOB ENDED!

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't remember it ever asking the operator an answerable msg
when joblog max size reached. I can remember getting hit with this in
Version 1 & 2 days. I change that sysval to *prtwrap on every system i set 
up.
Sys38 memory has faded...
