A Bevy of Batch Jobs

["Robertson, Scott" <SRobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had an occurrence this morning in which over 200 instances of the
same job were submitted to QBATCH and completed in a 10 minute time
frame by one user.  All jobs had the same job name (not a typical job
name for our environment either) and produced no output or joblogs.

The information in QHST is minimal and does not tell me what these jobs
could have been.  A typical entry from QHST is shown below:

        Message ID . . . . . . :                CPF1124
Severity . . . . . . . :                00            
        Message type . . . . . :                Information

        Date sent  . . . . . . :   05/15/98      Time sent  . . . . . .
:   09:34:18 


        Message . . . . :   Job 390385/BAS/BAS started on 05/15/98 at
09:34:17 in    
          subsystem QBATCH in QSYS. Job entered system on 05/15/98 at
09:34:17.      

Of course the user is sure it was nothing that they did, but only told
me about it after everything was done.

What other areas of the system can I check to help me figure out how
these jobs were submitted, and what they did in the system?  I'm on
V3R1M0.
