As Ed has shown, they should display =correctly using > a D A command. We just investigated this recently. For a started task, the procname is normally used as the jobname. However, some special processing is done when the procname is IEESYSAS. ASCRE and the START command replace the procname with the stepname when the procname is IEESYSAS, so that the step name is what ends up in the CHCLS (in the CSCB), ASSBJBNS, and the CSCX ( in the field pointed to by ASCBJBNS). Unfortunately, the START command does not replace IEESYSAS with the step name on the jobcard that it passes to JES2/JES3. So from at least JES2's point of view (I don't know about JES3, we were doing the investigation on a JES2 system), the jobname remains IEESYSAS, and that is what JES2 puts into the JSAB. SDSF gets the jobname from the JSAB if there is a JSAB. If there is no JSAB (i.e. SUB=MSTR was specified on the START command), SDSF gets the jobname from the CSCB. The D A command I think always gets the jobname from the CSCB. So the anomaly is due to IEEVSTAR (START command) replacing IEESYSAS with the stepname in the CSCB, but not replacing IEESYSAS on the jobcard. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
