RE: Mandatory Job Log

I'm not familiar with "scope message". Maybe a rose by another name with
which I may be familiar.

Jerry,

Here's what IBM has to say on the subject...

"For an interactive job, the value specified for the LOG parameter on the
SIGNOFF command takes precedence over the LOG parameter value specified for
the job."

FWIW you could always modify the user's initial program to send a scope
message to the job. The scope message program could then force a job log
with

DSPJOB JOB(*) OUTPUT(*PRINT) OPTION(*JOBLOG)

I am having problems with a couple of users telling me, "I didn't do that"
(whatever THAT is). I wanted to force a joblog. If they signoff using a
menu option, I have SIGNOFF *LIST, but if they just type SIGNOFF the default
is *NOLIST.



I thought that changing the job description to:



Change Job Description (CHGJOBD)



Type choices, press Enter.



Message logging: LOG

Level . . . . . . . . . . . . 4

Severity . . . . . . . . . . . 00

Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . *SECLVL

Log CL program commands . . . . LOGCLPGM *YES



and putting that into their user profile would always get a job log no
matter how they signed off. I know (because I tested it - again) that on a
SBMJOB with this job description I get a job log.



What am I missing regarding the interactive sessions?
