Getting WSJR-ERROR = Y when updating the currently running job using 900-CREATE-JOB (works fine if I use a different JOBREQ-JOB-NAME) 

I suppose this makes sense, since in lapm you can't update a job if its in queue (e.g. in recovery)

What I'm trying to do is run a job but override some parameters using logic with db lookups.  Has anyone accomplished this?  If not cobol I also tried design studio but there's no straightforward way there to update the job definition either.

I can override the in-memory PRM-* values fine, but what I can't figure out how to do is how to update the job definition itself

Ended up just validating (instead of overriding) and spitting out an error if not valid. This seems to work nicely, even blocking job submission of old jobs if the parameters are now no longer valid
