Re: Hold ALL jobq's

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We wrote a custom JOBQHLD and a custom JOBQRLS.  These write to a file 
which job queues got held.  We don't record the names of job queues 
previously held.  When we run JOBQRLS it releases the job queues that are 
in that file.  We also have a file of exceptions - job queues that we do 
not want held by JOBQHLD.  For example QLPINSTALL.

So if your WRKJOBQ shows:

Queue        Library    Status
QBATCH       QGPL        RLS
MYJOBQ       MYLIB       HLD
QLPINSTALL   QSYS        RLS

And you run JOBQHLD you will see
Queue        Library    Status
QBATCH       QGPL        HLD
MYJOBQ       MYLIB       HLD
QLPINSTALL   QSYS        RLS

And if you then run JOBQRLS you will see
Queue        Library    Status
QBATCH       QGPL        RLS
MYJOBQ       MYLIB       HLD
QLPINSTALL   QSYS        RLS


Makes sense?
