There was a discussion about utilizing IEFJOBS on this list in June of 2010 that included some pros and cons. I think the link below will display the beginning of the thread:

Keith Company -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Ashton Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 9:36 AM I had an new contractor come to me recently and wanted to set up a Started Job in IEFJOBS. It looks like a normal job that is run from a normal scheduled jobs library. Can anyone tell me: 1. Why is a Started Job better than a Started Task? 2. Why would I use a Started Job instead of running a regular job? 3. Why would I --NOT-- want to use a Started Job? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
