Assuming it was its own LPAR, that would be an effective solution.

There's also a PRTTXT parm on *JOBD that works for this.  I've used
this on occasion for BRMS recovery reports to direct the printed
output to the correct person/location.  Just specify that particular
*JOBD on the scheduled job, and BLAMMO, you've got custom text on each
page.

So - QPRTTXT is global.  PRTTXT on a user's *JOBD is more granular.
