There is extensive information on NJE jobs in the TYPE 26 JES2 Purge Record, since there is a purge record created every time any job leaves any node for any purpose. While the data may not be left on the SPOOL dataset, you can identify which node and job numbers in these SMF fields: EXECNODE='NJE*EXECUTION*NODE NAME' /*SMF26NXM*/ LASTNODE='LAST*NODE*NAME' /*SMF26NLM*/ NEXTNODE='NEXT*NODE*NAME' /*SMF26NNM*/ ORIGJBID='ORIGINAL*JOB*IDENTIFICATION' /*SMF26NJB*/ ORIGNODE='ORIGIN*NODE*NAME' /*SMF26NON*/ SYSTRANS='JOB*TRANSMITTER*SYSTEM ID' /*SMF26NID*/ XMENTIME='END OF JOB*TRANSMISSION*TIME' /*SMF26NPT,NPD*/ XMITTIME='START OF JOB*TRANSMISSION*TIME' /*SMF26NST,NSD*/ where ORIGJBID/SMF26NJB is the 8-byte JCTJOBID field that includes Type of Task and the JES Number. I have it buried in my mind that when a job comes to a new node, if the original Job Number is not in use at that node, that the original Job Number is used for the job, otherwise the job gets a new number on the new node, but I have absolutely no documentation to support that memory. Barry Merrill Barry:Excellent memory I had forgotten about those records since I have not had a need to use them in over 20 years. We had a reasonably large NJE network (200+ nodes) and it was always fun trying to figure out what job came from where. If I recall correctly some of the NJE players (RSCS or was it Power ?) didn't always plug in the numbers. I do remember that MVS played nicely as I was often able to figure out where a job came from with no issue. What was always fun since the network really didn't belong to us per se (we paid for line costs and modem etc) we had to put the big boy boots on sometimes and clamp down on some company. We took security seriously and some of the small fry thought security was a joke.
