Re: Using QUSRJOBI

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, You need to be at V5R1 to use QUSRJOBI to get CPU%. And you need to 
use the QUSLJOB API first, to get a list of active jobs. Then you loop 
through the list, using the QUSRJOBI API.

But the Open list of jobs API (QGYOLJOB) can give you this info in one shot 
- it returns a list of entries, and you can say that you want this 
information only. This API has been around since V3R7, but the CPU% info 
has only been available, too, since V5R1.

QUSLJOB uses a user space, and there are programs that will help you 
navigate through it. See the API Programming manual if you've not done this 
before.

QUSRJOBI uses a structure to return the data for the job specified. In CL 
you need to declare a variable of the length of that structure (look at 
QSYSINC/H, member QUSRJOBI for the fields you need - add up the lengths). 
Then you need to substring the return variable to get the info you want. 
The JOBI1000 format has CPU% over a certain elapsed - this is new in V5R1. 
There's a reset parameter used with that format.
