Re: How to check if a job has run?
As I previously indicated, the code I have doesn't need to go after every step, it just goes at the end of the JOB. The output (JOB step CC's ) gets emailed to wherever you want. You could use IEFACTRT exit as was indicated, the overhead is trivial (zero if you decide not to do anything) if you decide not to do anything, and if you wanted to use a JES exit the overhead again is trivial.

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.

Re: How to check if a job has run?
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.

Re: How to check if a job has run?
As other have written, writing something to walk the JCT/SCT chain will do as you ask. Run the program as the last step in the job and you can do with the information as you wish. I did something like this at a client location a few years ago. The program was called RCWALKER and could execute anywhere in the job stream. In most instances, it was the last step in a job. It produced a couple of different reports based on what DD statements were present in the JCL. One of the reports was nothing more than a flat-file, which contained a one-line detail entry for each step. The information in the detail line was jobname, stepname, pgmname, return code or ABEND code and a couple of other pieces of information. In my case, the file produced was emailed to interested parties. In your case, you could read this file with another utility, which would make decisions based on the RC from each step in the job. On Tue Apr 8 16:59 , Michael Knigge [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent: David, file, so how does this help? What would you do with it that I am not understanding? Hmmm. yes... confusing... :) What I don't want is an additional STEP after every STEP in my Job. So for example: STEP01: IEBCOPY STEP02: MYTOOL -- writes STEP01 returned CC=0 STEP03: IEBCOPY STEP04: MYTOOL -- writes STEP03 returned CC=4 STEP05: IEBCOPY STEP06: MYTOOL -- writes STEP05 returned CC=4 I didn't knew that is is quite simple to use JCT and SCT to get the CC of every STEP in the job. So putting only one STEP at the end of the Job is somehow ok for me. And I like this more than the FTP-Idea, because the FTP-Server may be down, the JCT/SCT will never ;-) Bye, Michael -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: How to check if a job has run?
Hi, If you have access, you can look in the system log. Tools like OPC will capture the end of job event and then do something. Well, I need to do this in a program. Could you bring me in the right direction and tell me how I can capture the SYSLOG? My problem is that I submit a job and some time later I need to know if the job has run **AND** which was the return-code (best: condition code of every step). My first idea was that I could write a loader-program: So if the program IEBCOPY needs to be executed I could code my JCL like this: STEP01 EXEC PGM=MYLOAD,PARM='IEBCOPY' ... Now MYLOAD loads/fetches IEBCOPY (-- see PARM) and executes it. after IEBCOPY returns, I could write the RC to a file. This would also be a solution (for my problem) even for multi-step jobs. But this approach doesn't work if IEBCOPY ABENDs, because MYLOAD would not get control anymore. Or is it also possible to cathc **ALL** ABENDs?

Re: How to check if a job has run?
Michael Off the top of my head I can think of the following options (outside of any job scheduling software solution).

(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) (3) Write some basic sort of checkpointing pgm that gets control as last job step and writes data depending on success/failure of job and/or steps (4) Post process the SMF data hunting for type-30 records using SORT or a freeware tool like DAF.

Re: How to check if a job has run?
He said he doesn't want another step at EOJ that writes a I have run dataset. The problems with 1 and 2 are: What would you do with the information you glean? You have to FTP it back or save it in a dataset. The only two options I see so far is to submit a job that reads SYSLOG, or submit a job that reads SMF.

Re: How to check if a job has run?
I have a program (there are several available) that sends an email with the condition codes implemented as the last step of a job, and our scheduling product (SyzAuto) automatically adds that step for every job that it runs. One of the accounts that gets notified is a email task that accepts the email and posts the results of every job on a web page that is available to everyone (depending on their authority). We also have another product (SyzCmdZ) which can perform the same functions but for all jobs, not just the ones with the extra step, but currently it only provides the Highest condition code, and not all codes from all steps. One of our other products (SyzSpool) spools all of the output to datasets and manages the retention of them, and it too provides the highest condition code via it's interface, although it currently doesn't send it to anyone:), it just keeps it and allows you to see it in the interactive OUTPUT interface.
