Running Concurrent jobs

[Guest.Visitor]

A simplified method would be to submit these jobs to a single threaded job queue. This doesn't prevent all locking but it does reduce the number of occurrances.

Running Concurrent jobs

Hi! Is there any type of job management code, api, etc.. to keep a job from running because the same job was submitted by a user earlier. We are having locking problems and keep getting the infamous C,D,I,R message that there is an allocation problem. Thank you most gratefully for your time and effort. Steve

A typical way to handle this is to create a control object. Such as a Data area. Have the prgram use ALCOBJ to acquire an exclusive lock on the data area. Use MONMSG to detect if data area is already locked - meaning that another version of the program is already running. Good luck, Kevin
