The Spool has input log and output log.

In the input log the jobs currently being executed is visible.

In the output log the jobs which have been executed is visible.

Because ---ISFACT ST TOKEN ( (TOKEN.) ) PARM(NP ?)----
gives details from both input and output log.

Please let me know how to access the job's from the output log only.

That topic accesses the output queue using rexx.

Where are you stuck? That topic has working code you can copy to your system. . .

Can you not simply modify the provided code to do what you want?

Hopefully, you are not expecting someone here to actually do your specific task for you . . .

Hello,

By now you should know that posting "it didn't work" is just a waste of everyone's time. . .

What happened? An error? An abend? Undesired results?

Suggest you use the actual code provided for an initial test and if there are problems show us what they are. If the code from the linked topic works, modify for your use and continue. If the original will not work on your system, that needs to be addressed first.

the snippets I referred to do access the output queue using REXX
maybe if You' d care to be more specific on the meaning You assign to the buzzwords access Output Queue

the first snippet lists the jobs based on a prefix
the second snippet lists the ddnames of the jobs
the third snippet displays the content ( aka data ) of the first three datasets of the jobs
( the first three datasets are the JES related datasets )

and I call all that, guess what accessing the Output Queue using REXX

did You care to look at the the SDSF manual
here for example
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/ISF4BK80
up to you to look for the one related to Your zOS level

and the relative redbook SDSF and rexx
www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247419.html
and the downloadable examples ready to run

we are not here to build customized examples for Your needs,
but to share what we know and what we have done

it' s up to you to try to understand and to post clear questions
as per ( suggested novemtrigillion times )
how to ask questions the smart way
here catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
or .. for a more PC language
here support.microsoft.com/kb/555375
useful also to forecast the comments You might receive

telling only that You are not clear on a very generic requirement
just &pisses off people willing to help
nuff said

topic edit to add a comment
to be sure... I just retested the snippets and they work as described

did You also take note of thelast link which points to a good ( even if a bit boring ) tutorial ?

ISFFILTER="QUEUE = PRINT" would have been enough on the first place.


From the beginning I am clear about the requirements.

There was no error as such before...jobs from both queues were getting deleted earlier. icon_smile.gif

access output queue

clear as mud icon_evil.gif

and as said before the examples posted satisfied the foggy requirement of accessing
maybe the data fetched while satisfying my requirements was completely irrelevant for Yours...
the ISFFILTER has always been there
and if You look at the manuals the might be also a different way by issuing the H or the O commands
I did not look to closely because the way I posted was enough for me

build on the snippets posted to fetch more columns for a <programmed> fltering
or expand the ISFFILTER for a more granular selection.
