Hi all,

Can anyone help me on how to extract all the jobs details such as Jobname , Jobnumber, start & end time, and status of job whose names have a prefix like REX* from the spool (SDSF) into a dataset using REXX

Thanks & Regards,
Prabhu V

some idea I can give you is RUN SDSF in job using the utility"ISFAFD" and use EDIT MACRO to give and fetch the values thru rexx..

Hi Prabhu,

Hope you accomplished your need by now. Can you tell me how you got the details in spool including the Job Owner details through REXX ?

Hello,

Depending on your requirements, i'd suggest looking into meeting your requirements using SMF data. The SMF data will be available than the jobs in the spool.

See your systems programmers for info on how to use the SMF data - they may already have something that will do what you need. An ability to report on jobs processed is quite common.

Hi dick,

Thanks for ur suggestion.

But because of unknown reasons, we are not allowed to contact the system programmers.

But I need the JESMSGLG, JESYSMSG ddnames for some production jobs which ran within last 24 hours.

So please suggest me how to get that data either by using Batch jobs or by REXX.

Thanks,
Siva

Please search this forum for BATCH SDSF. You'll fine lots of examples.
