Looking at CPA3311 in WRKMSGD, gives you the data elements:

Looking at the field data gives you the positions in the MSGDTA buffer:

                                Display Field Data

   &2       *BIN              2                               *NO
   &3       *CHAR            10                               *NO
   &4       *CHAR            10                               *NO
   &5       *CHAR             6                               *NO

If you wanted to condition the action based on the job name, that would be 
&3, which starts at buffer position 13, and is 10 bytes in length, so you 
could specify something like this:

   ADDRPYLE SEQNBR(999)
            MSGID(CPA3311)
            CMPDTA('MYJOB     ' 13)
            RPY(G)
