I don't know how you can be more language-neutral than to use an API - you can use them in any of the HLL's, including CL - no problem. This is not true for some APIs before you could use *INT in CL, but this is not one of those.

Would work great in a CL program. Not so great in RPG, PL/I, MI, or (as is the case here) C.

A completely language-neutral answer is what I'm after (and why I'm asking on the Midrange list instead of a language-specific one); the question is whether or not there's a better language-neutral answer than the QUSRJOBI call.
