Not that I can think of.

Correct.  I have been thinking that an expanded syntax for
specifying jobs or sessions could be:

          [@J:][jobname,]user.account[:jobq]
          [@S:][jobname,]user.account[:jobq]
          [#]J|Snnnn

Thus, names like:
          @J:manager.sys:internet
selects all jobs logged on as manager.sys in the 'internet' job queue
etc.

Some commands would accept wildcards and others might not.
The PAUSE command and the JOBCNT function support the above
syntax, less the JOBQ name.  The ABORTJOB UDC available on jazz
supports the above syntax (with wildcarding) in addition to allowing
a JOBQ= parameter (but not the ':jobq_name' form above). Oh, that
reminds me I need to update the ABORTJOB UDC on jazz.  The version
that works with JOBQ= is on my local 3000 -- not Jazz right now.

Thought, comments?
