Glad you fixed the issue of course but may I ask why it would not work in your environment?

Larry,

I read the help text for QSPLFACN to *DETACH.
Spoolfiles would remain on the system, but no longer would be associated with the job.
This would solve the issue, but from an operational standpoint would not work in our environment.

When the job ends, the spooled files are detached from
the job and the job is removed from the system.

After further research, what we did find and confirm that one of the debug options was set to *YES for a 3rd party product, RXS.
Each time this product invoked QSH, either directly or through an IBM api, a joblog was created.

In one example, each time one of our processes was called, which in turned invoked multiple RXS processes, 4 joblogs were created.

Changing the debug option from *YES to *NO has stopped the creation of these QSH empty, useless, joblogs.

Consider setting QSPLFACN to *DETACH. This will free up the job control blocks when the job ends.

We launched a new app several weeks ago, each occurrence of this creates a new job and job log.
We previously ran about 4,000 jobs per day, now we are now up to 18,000 jobs per day, on the average.
I keep joblogs for 90 days.
We now hit 90% of job tables,
WRKSYSVAL SYSVAL(QMAXJOB) already set at max, cannot be increased. I wish this could be increased.
DSPJOBTBL
Total . . . . . : 436831
Maximum . . . . : 485000

I think my only option is to change the new app not to create a job
log,

Any other thoughts from the group.

Thank You
