We are upgrading our hardware from E10's to model 170's and thus from
V2r2 to V4r2.  During the testing I uncovered a problem that was due to
using the output from a DSPJOBLOG (*PRINT).  I would like to replace
this method with an API.  Does anybody know what or if any API would
allow me to extract the 'Request' info from a job log?  In particular I
am looking for the parameters for the job submitted.
Then current process is as follows:
I am attempting to find a way to retrieve the parameter of a submitted
job.  Currently I RTVJOBA to determine the job then issue a DSPJOBLOG
(*PRINT) to get the data I then CPYSPLF so that I can retrieve the data.
 I then read each record for 'RQS' (which has now changed to 'Request')
and then store the data (called pgm and parameters).  This was a klugie
way but it worked.

Some Suggestions:

1.-  If you have access to the Main Program, Change the Pgm to Save the
parameters to a Data Base File.

2.- If you have access and authority to change the Subsystem in wich the
program runs, ... ,
     create a special routing entry for identification and manipulation of
that Job ... etc

3.- Create a command to process your "Called Program" and ....
      Create a validation pgm for that command ... the command will in turn
call the progarm with the
      parameters ....

4.-  A very complicated way .... Create a validation program to the CALL
command (Better NOT !)

Good Luck to you
