Loyd - There are several components to how job logs are created on the system. The message logging parameters determine what kind of information will be collected: Message logging: LOG Level . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Severity . . . . . . . . . . . 00 Text . . . . . . . . . . . . . *NOLIST Log CL program commands . . . . LOGCLPGM *NO I won't go into all the specifics related to these values, but if the message logging 'TEXT' parameter is set to *NOLIST a job log will only be created if the job ends abnormally. If the job completes normally, no job log will be created. This is the same whether the job is an interactive or batch job. If any value other than *NOLIST is specified for the message logging 'TEXT' parameter in a batch job, a job log will always be produced, whether the job ends normally or abnormally. This works differently for interactive jobs though. In order to conserve disk space on our system I've changed the SIGNOFF command defaults as follows: Sign Off (SIGNOFF) Type choices, press Enter. Job log . . . . . . . . . . . . LOG *NOLIST Drop line . . . . . . . . . . . DROP *DEVD End connection . . . . . . . . . ENDCNN *NO So, by default, when an interactive job is ended normally, no joblog will be produced. However, if the interactive job ends abnormally a joblog and most likely a program dump, will be produced. This job log is usually stored in the QEZJOBLOG output queue in library QUSRSYS. If you want to force the creation of a job log from an interactive job you can do it in one of two ways. 1.) When you sign off enter SIGNOFF LOG(*LIST) instead of using an Option 90 from a menu. 2.) Prior to signing off enter DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*PRINT). When one of these options is used a job log is created and stored in the QEZJOBLOG output queue in library QUSRSYS.

I'm having a long Tuesday, but I thought there was a system value or a SBMJOB parameter that controlled whether to always generate job logs, or only generate job logs on abnormal end. Can someone refresh my memory?
