You say you would "process JCT and SCT control blocks", but (a), it's a "last step in the job" solution, and (b), what would you do with this captured information? You claim that you don't want to write an "I am done" file, so how does this help? What would you do with it that I am not understanding?
If you are willing to write an "I am done" file, you can easily enough do something like have it download its own JES log somewhere as a last FTP step. It would write it back to (presumably) the submitting system, and it would have all of the same information as if you were looking at it in the JES job log. Return code information, SYSOUT output, CI JCL, etc. David Logan Manager of Product Development, Pitney Bowes Software, Inc. http://centrus.com 4750 Walnut St, Suite 200 Boulder, CO 80301 W: (720) 564-3056 C: (303) 818-8222 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Knigge Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 1:55 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: How to check if a job has run? Rob, > (1) Use the IEFACTRT exit (job/step termination exit) - however this might be overkill for you. Well, I need this functionality only for a few jobs and IEFACTRT would impact all submitted jobs... From this point of view - yes, it is overkill. > (2) Write an assembler program that always gets control as the last job step and process the JCT and SCT control blocks - (not sure about the GUPI status of these) Well if nothing else would be possible I would do this. > (4) Post process the SMF data hunting for type-30 records using SORT or a freeware tool like DAF. I would like to capture SYSLOG or SMF, but I don't know how to do it. Running a batch-Job for this would not fit my needs.
