You can get the complete job information from the
program status data structure.  In old fashioned RPG, the
columns are:

     I*                                                     
     I           SDS                                        
     I                                     *PROGRAM PGNAME  
     I                                     *STATUS  STATUS  
     I                                      244 253 TMNAME  
     I                                      254 263 USRNAM  
     I                                      264 2690JOBNBR  

Hope this helps...
