Hi list. This is probably a case of not seeing the forest due to the trees, but here goes.
We are z/OS 1.4, JES2, and running control-m for a job scheduler. I have certain jobs that show up differently under SDSF depending on how I look at them. Because of this apparent disparity, job output that is supposed to be going away isn't. In my case, output class "H" is normally deleted by a JES2 automatic command run every night, if the output is more than 18 hours old. Output class "X" is cleaned up after 90 days. Here is an example of one such job that is confusing me: Here are a few lines from the job output: ------ JES2 JOB STATISTICS ------ 09 NOV 2006 JOB EXECUTION DATE 59 CARDS READ 1,258 SYSOUT PRINT RECORDS 0 SYSOUT PUNCH RECORDS 89 SYSOUT SPOOL KBYTES 0.03 MINUTES EXECUTION TIME 1 //WSCSY069 JOB DDDD,BUSSERV, PHOENIX DAILY REPORT PRINTING JOB08907 // CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),REGION=4096K, // COND=(8,LT) Here is what the DSID list looks like, if I look at it via the SDSF ST screen: SDSF JOB DATA SET DISPLAY - JOB WSCSY069 (JOB08907) LINE 1-5 (5) COMMAND INPUT ===> SCROLL ===> CSR PREFIX=WSCSY069 DEST=(ALL) OWNER=* SYSNAME= NP DDNAME StepName ProcStep DSID Owner C Dest Rec-Cnt Page-Cnt Byte-Cnt CC JESMSGLG JES2 2 BMCU H LOCAL 19 1,353 1 JESJCL JES2 3 BMCU H LOCAL 154 9,394 1 JESYSMSG JES2 4 BMCU H LOCAL 106 6,127 1 SYSPRINT NONCAT2 CONTROLR 101 BMCU H LOCAL 44 2,382 1 DAPRENV NONCAT2 CONTROLR 118 BMCU H LOCAL 472 22,856 1 Here is the same job DSID list if I look at it going through the SDSF O screen: SDSF JOB DATA SET DISPLAY - JOB WSCSY069 (JOB08907) LINE 1-5 (5) COMMAND INPUT ===> SCROLL ===> CSR PREFIX=WSCSY069 DEST=(ALL) OWNER=* SYSNAME= NP DDNAME StepName ProcStep DSID Owner C Dest Rec-Cnt Page-Cnt Byte-Cnt CC JESMSGLG JES2 2 BMCU X LOCAL 19 1,353 1 1 11 JESJCL JES2 3 BMCU X LOCAL 154 9,394 1 1 11 JESYSMSG JES2 4 BMCU X LOCAL 106 6,127 1 1 11 SYSPRINT NONCAT2 CONTROLR 101 BMCU X LOCAL 44 2,382 1 1 11 DAPRENV NONCAT2 CONTROLR 118 BMCU X LOCAL 472 22,856 1 1 11 How is it that the same job shows the output in class "H" at one point but class "X" at another? My guess is that it has something to do with control-m, but I can't prove that. If it is control-m, how can I fix it so that the output purges when it is supposed to?
