Al Mac,

If you follow these jobs back to their origination, check the job
description associated with each job.  The logging level associated with
the job log will determine whether a job log is generated all of the
time or only when a certain error level is reached.

You have three elements of the LOG parameter:
1) Logging Level - a number from zero through four which determines the
amount of detail in your job logs.
2) Message Severity Level - a number from 00 through 99 which determines
the severity of messages written to your logs.
3) Message Text Level - a parameter (*NOLIST, *MSG, or *SECLVL).  If you
set this to *NOLIST, you will produce no logs unless a specific error
message is reached within the program.

I have oversimplified the interrelationships between the parameters
above, but this is where you want to look.  If you have the three
parameters set to 4 (highest level of detail), 00 (lowest severity
level), and *SECLVL (most verbose logging), then you should expect a job
log all the time, every time.  Many of your system jobs may be located
in the subsystem descriptions as prestart or autostart jobs.  You can
find the job description as part of the subsystem entries.

You probably want to tinker with them so that you don't get a log with
normal completion but you do get one if a specific error level is
reached.

Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
