Re: GRPJOB

[Dave McKenzie <davemck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

If you change to TFRGRPJOB GRPJOB(*SELECT) in you ATTN pgm (the one
named in ATNPGM in your *usrprf), when you press the ATTN key, it will
show a menu of your current group jobs. You can select the one you want
to transfer to, or create a new one with F6.
