Re: Active and Group Job

["Ron Adams" <rondadams@xxxxxxxxx>]

QEZGRP2 is the default IBM Group Job name assigned to the group job started
(perhaps accidentally) by the user when they pressed the ATTN key. Most
likely, the Attention program (ATTNPGM) parameter on their user profile is
set to *ASSIST which is the default. When the ATTN key is pressed, the user
will be given menu like the one below:

 1. Work with printer output
 2. Work with jobs
 3. Work with messages
 4. Send messages
 5. Change your password

75. Information and problem handling

80. Temporary sign-off

This usually doesn't present any kind of issue as all of the options on that
menu are dependent up security for the user, however, If it is, I would
recommend changing the ATTNPGM to *NONE.

On a side-note (and shameless plug), several years ago I wrote an Attention
Key handler/menu utility intended for programmers/admins to be able to
configure hot-keys/commands and often-used programs. It's quite usefull and
I still use it today, even with multiple PC emulator sessions.
