CLEAN UP JES2 SPOOL | by Ken Hubbard
Have you every tried to put a hold on a job in the input queue, but
the job started before you finished entering the command? The problem
is that JES waits till the job completes and then does the hold so
the job does not get into the output queue - or any queue for that
matter. Search390 user Ken Hubbard offers his tip for finding and
processing these hidden jobs.

THE MISSING LINK | Killer wires spilt my tea
Coffee and tea may get you wired, but wire can get your coffee and
tea. A survey released by none other than Microsoft found that one in
10 office workers blamed the maze of wires and cables around their
desks for making them spill their drinks. That's more than five
million cups of splattered tea every week in the U.K. The average
desk is tied up by nearly 50 feet of wiring -- enough to mug a mug,
steal its contents and throw it on the ground. None of the people
polled confessed to being a cubicle klutz. Before you say aloud,
"Someone in Redmond got paid to do this?," consider this -- Microsoft
is coming out with a wireless keyboard. Hmmm.
