Re: System Logs

Phil,

If you type DSPJOBLOG and Enter you only see the Job Log for your current
interactive job.

Was the job that errored out running interactively?
* If so and the operator signed off, there may be no joblog saved.

* If the Nightly job was a batch job --- use WRKJOB 'jobname'
   -If there is a single instance of that job in the system it will present
    the Work with Job menu for that job.
   -If there are multiple instances of the job a list of those jobs with
    the status and date is presented.  Select the instance with a '1' to
    see the Work with Job Menu for the job.

* You can also try the history log -- DSPLOG.  Use F4-Prompt to select
   the date and time range to start close to the error.

* If you run nightly work interactively you should consider doing a
   SIGNOFF *LIST when the Operator signs off-- forcing a joblog.
   You can control this with the LOG parm on the Job or on a Job
    Description.
