Well, I see you already got one response, and it was too late for you this
time, so...

Why not just always run this job with the logging at full blast?  I.e.,
CHGJOB LOG(4 00 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES).  At least until you've figured
out what the problem is.

If I'm in an environment where normally nothing is logged, sometimes I'll
code that CHGJOB into the CL at the beginning.  If not allowed to change
the source, but I can recompile the source, I'll use CRTCLPGM LOG(*YES). 
If I don't have access to the source and can't change how the job is
submitted to batch, I'll put a hold on the job queue, run the process that
submits the job, run the CHGJOB on the job while it's still on the queue,
and release the job queue.
