Hi all,

I searched in the forum. But I am not able to find. Give me a suggesstion to find the job for particular date. That is for ex I submitted the job on 23 sep. Now I am not able to find that job in spool. The jobs for 22nd , 24 th date are in the spool. Is there any other option to find the job for 23 rd. And I am not remembering the JobID

In the spool issue

Code:

st
pre *
owner *


Then sort the spool based on RD-DATE. Now you will have all the JOBs submitted on 23rd together so you can look for your JOB in the bunch.

If it is not found here, that means JOB might have got purged. once it is purged I don't know any means of getting it back. (unless you have VPW)

but beware pre * might return you many JOBs.

Hi,

you might be able to browse or interrogate the SYSLOG if it gets backed up to see if job was purged.

Hi,

firstly you need to find out if a backup of the SYSLOG exists.

If it's on dasd, then you should have no problem browsing it, if it's on tape/cart then you have 2 choices, you can copy the relevant backup to dasd or you can directly extract the information from tape/cart ie. search on jobname

You'll have to ask at your site to see if the LOG records are offloaded and what the filename is.

Search the file from 23SEP forward to find your jobname and possible "purged" message.
