RE: WRKJOB JOBNAME (w/o userID&job#)

If you just want to see active jobs, you can use WRKACTJOB JOB(jobname).
Once the list is displayed, option 5 lets you view the desired job. When
you're done, <enter> or <f3> will take you back to the list of jobs. If you
need to see JOBQ and OUTQ jobs as well, you'll probably have to roll your
own or see if someone has already done it and can share. If you want to roll
your own, the QUSLJOB API is a good starting point.

Hope this helps!

Has anyone beat their head against the wall on this problem?

You use WRKJOB JOBNAME (without the user ID and job number) and you get a
list
of jobs.  Your only option is to select ONE job.  You view the ONE job and
exit out of that particular WRKJOB display, returned to the command line,
having to re-run WRKJOB JOBNAME again, trying to remember the last job# you
viewed if you're attempting to look at the next job in sequence.

Jeez, one woulda thought that IBM would either let you select more than ONE
job from the multiple jobs display *or* at least returned you to the
selection
screen after viewing the previously selected job.

Am I missing something here?  Is there another command that does this?
Homegrown & willing to share?  If not, is there an API I could use so I
could
roll my own?
