At Penn State we use NATRJE to submit batch jobs that generate emails. When too many jobs are submitted at the same time we get a response code 04 - NATRJE utility not available. Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem other than using RETRY logic? We do not have access to user exit routines so this is not an option for us.

Thank you,  
Jean Chamberlin

Hi,

I hope I am not late, but you can try this:

```auto

define call-natrje
repeat until ( #rc ne 4 and #rc ne 8) or #tries > 5
  #rc := 0
  add 1 to #tries
  call 'natrje' #job-cards #count #last #rc
  if ( #rc =4 or = 8 or = 1024 )
    call 'cmroll' #wait
  end-if
end-repeat
end-subroutine
    
```
