WRKJOB: CPI1157-Duplicate jobs found; can it return back to the list?

WRKJOB currently returns a list of matching jobs and asks me to select one. After having done so and examined the selected job, I get returned to a command line. Can it be enhanced to return to the list of jobs? Or the list be enhanced with a 5="Work with job" so I can select several without going back to a command line and entering the WRKJOB again?


Use Case:

WRKJOB DSP01, for example. I might want to look at the last 3 jobs, or the most recent and the oldest. It would be more efficient to just keep working off the list of jobs than returning to the command line.

    This request did not make it into our plans for the next release due it being lower priority, therefore I am closing it at this time.

    This RFE is still being considered for a future enhancement, but because it is lower priority it has not yet been completed.

    Like "HLDJOB" or "RLSJOB"? Looks like they use the same format.

    I guess I could see the new option being useful in those cases, too, but I see it most helpful in the WRKJOB usage. Could just this command be modified/enhanced/replaced? Or perhaps a new command, WRKJOBL for WorkJobList?

    This enhancement is under consideration. Each display that calls the select duplicate jobs program would need to change to work the way that you have described, so this is a bigger work item than if we could just make a change to 1 program and get the behavior change everywhere it is used.
