This feature was added ages ago to JES2 and is described in: SA22-7532 JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, chapter: JES2 system data sets. " To provide an indication when a particular message was logged for jobs that run multiple days, JES2 provides day/date messages in the JES2 JOBLOG. The time stamp on the first message matches the time that the first data record (PUT) was processed. The time stamp on all subsequent day/date messages is always midnight (00.00.00). see Figure 25 to illustrate the following example: If a job is submitted on day 1 (27 MAR 1995), issues no messages for the next three days (28, 29, and 30 March), and ends on day 5 (31 MAR 1995), the JOBLOG contains two dates only; the first at the top of the JOBLOG when the job began and the second before the end on day 5 at midnight. There is no entry for a day in which no messages were logged, and therefore, never two consecutive lines with the day/date message.
