java显示as400屏幕信息,通过Java监视和处理IBM i系列（AS / 400）上的作业上的MSGW消息...

Does anyone know how one can automatically reply to messages with status MSGW that block a job on an IBM i-series (AS/400)?

I'm using the jt400/jtopen library to access a program on an AS/400 from Java. I'm using the com.ibm.as400.access.ProgramCall class, which works fine, unless the program fails for some reason. As with almost any program, failures will happen sometimes, but unfortunately, in this case, it does not result in a status message or an exception. Instead, the calling thread just hangs. What's worse, any call to the AS/400 to get information on the Job (another class in jt400 that mostly does what you would expect) backing the queue will hang as well.

I could of course monitor the thread in which the call runs and simply kill it after waiting for a while, but that's a last resort. Getting an error message back from the system would be nice.

I've found that you can use the timeout mechanism of ExecutorService to interrupt a ProgramCall in MSGW.

You must discard the AS400 object afterwards, and the server job is still in MSGW, but at least you can continue on the Javaside.

(You need to use a separate AS400 object if you want to investigate on the hanging job.)
