Access LDA for job waiting on a JOBQ
Is there a way to access the LDA for a job that is waiting in the JOBQ? I want to write a program to monitor jobs in a JOBQ and move them to other JOBQs based on information that is in the LDA.

I think there is no way
But
If you can see it with dspjob, the the corresponding API will give it to your program

Tango/04 Computing Group produce a product called Visual Support Pro that allows you to look at the LDA of any job on the system. This suggests that you can retrieve this information (although it does not allow you to update it). However, it does not help with the key question…..HOW do you retrieve the info. Sorry!
Accessing the LDA of a job on a *JOBQ quite possibly requires unsupported internal interfaces. And it seems to be an unnecessarily complicated way to go about the task.
A routing program can access the LDA directly. Why not use the facility that’s intended for the task?
