	I'm sure others on the list have solved similar problems, but I 
personally don't have any solutions to share.  I would observe that if you 
don't care if the job is held or idle for your report, you could get both 
with a single query of the schedd:

condor_q -const '(JobStatus == 5 || JobStatus == 1) && (time() - EnteredCurrentStatus) > (7 * 24 * 60 * 60)' -af ClusterID ProcID user

(Looking at the following URL for the JobStatus values:
https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/classad-attributes/job-classad-attributes.html#JobStatus
)

	Not that I'm aware of.
