AW: CL command to check whether an active job of a given name exists?

Hi ,

I just do a WRKJOB jobname and then monmsg CPF1070

If the MONMSG catches CPF1070 (job not found) then I continue to submit the
new job...

Hello James,

Seems like there ought to be something built into the OS, to keep two of

the same job from getting into a fight.

How could the OS know what is a legitimate shared access and "a fight"? =>
Preventing this is the responsibility of the application programmer. As
you've demonstrated by introducing a semaphore. :-)

:wq! PoC
