Re: Any way to avoid QPJOBLOG? -- MIDRANGE-L

I'm coming to this thread late, but one approach would be to do error
trapping in the program and end the job gracefully under program
control.  That would be good practice in any case.

There is no way not to get a joblog of some kind when a job ends abnormally that I know of. You can minimize the size by specifying 99 for severity, turn off CL command logging (except that a program setting can override this), and use *NOLIST.

Having said this, you could try the job notification exit point. This is specified in the registry (WRKREGINF - look for "Job notification" in the text description. You could set this for when jobs end and maybe you could DLTSPLF there - I don't know the timing involved - is the job log printed before the notification is sent? You want to look this up in the API finder in V5R3 InfoCenter. If it is not yet available, send the job information to a DTAQ and have another job waiting on that queue, which will wait until the job is in *OUTQ status and delete the joblog, if found.

There was a good discussion on logging recently on the list. You might go to the archives - link is at the bottom of each message - and search on "job log full" or "job message queue".

CHGJOB/CHGJOBD is not halping in this. Even changes of message severity, level and text logging and CL PRG comment logging in SUBJOB command also ends in vain. Any help?
