RE: Checking if a job is active

        I'm currently developing some little programs to perform our
morning checks automatically. I need to check DASD, jobs in systems, if
some subsystems are active or not, and check whether a couple of jobs
are active (applications jobs, part of an interface with another system
i).

I managed to check all except those active jobs. Using my friend google
I found some APIs that might help me with this, like QUSLJOB and
QUSRJOBI. The problem is that those APIs need a qualified job name to
run, and I don't have all that info, only the job name and user.

First, you don't need a qualified job name for QUSLJOB (else what's the
point in "listing jobs" ?).

You might also look at QGYOLJOB, but I would start with QUSLJOB, since it
seems more suited to your need as I understand it. Take a closer look at
the parameters, and pay attention to special value '*ALL'.

I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas. I took it to the Gift
Wrap department and told them to wrap it, but in a different print so he
would know when to stop unwrapping.
