it it important to know, that the json output seems to be broken.

First of all, it does not (compared to the normal output) obey to the truncate 
option -T.
But more important, I saw a job, where in a "day output" (-S <date> -E 
<date+1day>) no steps were recorded.
Using sacct -j <jobid> --json instead showed that job WITH steps.

It is hard to call it "broken" when it is documented behaviour:

  --json    Dump job information as JSON. All other formatting arguments will 
be ignored


That depends on what is meant with formatting argument.
To me, formatting arguments are "-b", "-l", "-o", "-p|-P"
Instead, I can use filtering arguments with --json, like "-u", "-p" etc. And I 
would assume, that -S, -E and -T are filtering options, not formatting options.

But as I explained before, not obeying to -T is bad behaviour. That is nothing I would 
call "broken".


But getting sometimes no steps for a job (if in a larger JSON-output with many 
jobs) and then getting the steps, if one asks specifically for that jobid. That 
is something I would call broken.

Best Marcus
