Here, here. My MCD roots are showing as I truly love SP-JOBS. I have even wrote an equivilent using LISTPEQS for D3 systems. I never bothered on U2 systems as I was more of a contract programmer than an administater.
SP-JOBS should have been picked up by the remaining keepers of the MV flame. It was too good to die with MCD.
