Tell them:
Stop hitting enter because all the computer has time to do is service your 
request to see if it moved up in the queue. Put a NOTIFY=&SYSUID on your 
job card and the system will tell you when your job came to an end. While you 
are waiting, write that documentation you have been meaning to get to. Get 
100  programmers tapping that enter key just as quick as they can to see if 
their job ran and you know why that procesor upgrade is imminent.

Monitors in the wrong hands need the same control you hear on tv about the 
machine where someone in the hospital can press a button to get more pain 
reliever into their drip line. Only it does not honor every request. SDSF and 
RMFMON should have an IGNORE x number of enter requests in a certain 
period of time.
