JSTS - find the status of a batch job.

Syntax:

JSTS [id][,id,id,...]
JSTS SYSOUT [Jout|Waiting|Finished|SIDs]

Examples:

jsts *
jsts x197t

Options:

id

indicates the job whose status you want to determine. There are two ways to specify "id":

*

stands for the most recent batch job submitted.

snumb

stands for the job with the given snumb.

Jout

can only be used with the SYSOUT form. This gets the status of jobs that are currently waiting for JOUT.

Waiting

can only be used with the SYSOUT form. This gets the status of jobs that are currently waiting for delivery.

Finished

can only be used with the SYSOUT form. This gets the status of jobs that are finished delivery.

SIDs

can only be used with the SYSOUT form. This lists all the jobs for the current userid and also their SYSOUT identifiers (SIDs). A SYSOUT identifier is unique for every job in SYSOUT and can be used as input to BW or JOUT in cases where jobs have duplicate SNUMBs.

Description:

JSTS will return the current batch processing status of the job bearing the specified snumb. If the status is "output waiting" or "output complete", JSTS will also attempt to give a termination status. The termination message given will always refer to the last job submitted.

JSTS will also find a job if it is in the batch queues.
