Checking the SPOOL for no of jobs using REXX

Ajay Baghel · Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 7:39 pm

Hi,

I am not using the macro. I am allocating the temporary print file before running the exec. The exec should write the JESYSMSG to it.

But now the problem is:
When I have more than 1 jobs with same jobname but different jobid, it is always picking up first job with same jobname. It seems like filter or Select for Jobid is not working . Though it works well when i do it manually online.

For eg:
MDS9ABTT JOB123454
MDS9ABTT JOB123463
MDS9ABTT JOB123474

When i execute my exec with arguents 'MDS9ABTT JOB123463',
it is putting JESYSMSG of MDS9ABTT JOB123454 into print dataset.

It works well when there is only one job with a jobname.

I tried replacing:
QUEUE "SELECT "JOBNAME JOBID
with

QUEUE "filter JOBNAME eq " JOBNAME " JobID eq " JOBID"

But, still it is picking first job only.

code:

Never seen so much hijacking of a single thread...
chinna asked a simple question,
Sathishk answered by "My requirement is..."
then tarunsharma1981 wrote "i also have a similar requirement in CMS..."
and Huzefa added "I just don't want to save..."
and last thilakvs and kavya123 started a subject of their own...

what happened to this thread ?????

Friends,

I hope i was clear in stating my SDSF problem. Please let me know if my explanation of problem is unclear.

Kavya, I tried your method of making owner and prefix to * at the beginning before issuing ST Command. But still my problem persists. That is, when there are multiple jobs with SAME JOBNAME but with DIFFERENT JOBIDs, it is always picking up the first job with that jobname even though i want to print 2nd or later job with that same jobname. It is always picking up the first job with that jobname.

The only good difference b/w your code and mine is: I am not using "AFD REFRESH" in my code. It is a SDSF server command (something i came to know from SDSF help and I may not be authorized to use it!). I can not use AFD refresh command.

I am just giving:

s jobname jobid.

It works well in the case when there is only one job with a unique JOBNAME. But it fails when there are multiple jobs with SAME JOBNAME but with DIFFERENT JOBIDs. It is always picking up the first job with that jobname.

I hope I am clear in stating my requirement.

Kavya:
Is your code handling above situation with/without using AFD REFRESH ?

Thanks,
Ajay

The code is handling this with "AFD REFRESH" .

Hi Kavya,

Thanks a lot. I was a bit reluctant to use the command "AFD REFRESH". Finally, i used it. Yes, you are right and Now i saw i it myself. Now i am getting the desired result. Though still I don't know what magic does it create when i get my particular job when i use it and not if i don't use it.

I will have dig into this command a bit.

But Thanks once again for your prompt attention.

-Ajay

Hi All,

My requirement is to know all the jobs submitted(both running(DA) and finished(ST)).
I tried the code given, but its not working. I pasted the code till filter and then removed the other step till print, but somehow it was not working.

Secondly, in my spool i can't see JobId, does that mean we don't have jobid column or the jobid column is hidden, if yes how to unhide it.

Can somebody guide me through the mess. Its kind of urgent.
