RE: ##EMailNumber 01-WNY-4439177 Re: DSPJOBLOG

Jorge,

Thanks for the suggestion.....but:

In my current model I do have a special routing entry in the subsystem
for all reports that are submitted with a certain job description.  This
router program interrogates the job log, via DSPJOBLOG, to determine the
parameters of the submitted job.  If a certain character precedes a
parameter then I use that parameter to chain to a file to see if the
user has schedule a time for that report to be executed.   

What I need is a replacement for the DSPJOBLOG....maybe an API?  Anybody
know of one that will return this data?
