Literally any values can be specified on the JOBNAME=, JOBID=, and USERID= keywords of the IAZXJSAB CREATE macro so, depending on which software product or component is creating the output, you could have all kinds of crazy values appear -- basically whatever naming convention works best for that product. Most products don't do this, so their output inherits the values from the scheduled job. APPC/MVS and OMVS have been mentioned. APPC/MVS passes its own special TP jobname and TP jobid (Annnnnnn). OMVS passes its own special jobname, but simply propagates the JES jobid of the address space under which it happens to be running which means, if it's a BPXAS address space, you will get STCnnnnn/Snnnnnnn for JES2 and JOBnnnnn/Jnnnnnnn for JES3. (E)JES provides an advanced feature, when copying spool output to sysout, that allows you to propagate identification information from the original job, which facilitates -- among other things -- JES-generated banner pages similar to the original. To illustrate my point, I did a temporary recompile specifying JOBNAME==C'YOURENOT' and JOBID==C'CRAZYBOY' and the result displayed in (E)JES was: OUTPUT 2,290S 2,225J 45T 9,415,891 Records (0 Sched) 88 Pages Command ===> Cmd JobName JobID Status C Pri Dest ODisp Records --- -------- --------/------- - --- ----------------- ----- ---------- YOURENOT CRAZYBOY QUEUED T 144 LOCAL WRITE 87 STATUS 2,290S 61X 2,402W 1H 45T 9,777,431 Records 88 Pages Command ===> Cmd JobName JobID Status Queue JP Pos Records --- -------- --------/---------- -------- -- --- ---------- YOURENOT CRAZYBOY QUEUED PRINT 15 2K 87 The JES2 DISPLAY command output shows: $HASP686 OUTGRP=YOURENOT.1.1,BURST=NO,FCB=****, $HASP686 FLASH=****,FORMS=STD,HOLD=(NONE), $HASP686 OUTDISP=WRITE,PRIORITY=144, $HASP686 PRMODE=LINE,QUEUE=T, $HASP686 RECORDS=(87 OF 87),ROUTECDE=LOCAL, $HASP686 SECLABEL=,TPJOBID=CRAZYBOY, $HASP686 TPJOBN=YOURENOT,TSOAVAIL=NO,UCS=****, $HASP686 USERID=EDJAFFE,WRITER= I didn't try this under JES3 but, trust me, you will get similar results.
