  • Where Did I Come From?

    March 23, 2005 Hey, Ted

    How can I tell which job queue an active batch job was submitted to?

    –Tim

    Do you mean how a human can see that information or how a program can determine it? I’ll show you both ways.

    A human can use the Work with Job (WRKJOB) command to determine which job queue a batch job came from. Take Option 2, Display Job Definition Attributes.

    Here’s a second method that you probably won’t need. The job queue name is also in a message in the job log. Display the job log and look for a message that says “Job 123456/SOMEUSER/SOMEJOB submitted” near the top of the job log. Position the cursor to that message and press F1 and you’ll find the job queue name in the help text.

    If a program needs to determine which job queue its current invocation came from, use the Retrieve Job Information API, QUSRJOBI. The following CL source code is some I have used.

    dcl   &RcvVar     *char      512 
    dcl   &RcvVarLen  *char        4 
    dcl   &Format     *char        8 
    dcl   &JobName    *char       16 
    dcl   &JobID      *char       16 
    dcl   &JobQ       *char       10 
    dcl   &JobQLib    *char       10
    
    
    chgvar   %bin(&RcvVarLen)    512                           
    chgvar   &Format             'JOBI0300'                    
    chgvar   &JobName            '*'                           
    chgvar   &JobID              ' '                           
    call     qusrjobi (&RcvVar &RcvVarLen &Format &JobName &JobID) 
    chgvar   &JobQ         %sst(&RcvVar 63 10)                 
    chgvar   &JobQLib      %sst(&RcvVar 73 10)
