RE: WRKSYSSTS Problem.... I think

IIRC, (Jobs in system) = (# active jobs) + (# completed jobs for which
spool files still exist)

That your # of spool files exceeds the # jobs is not an issue; many jobs
create multiple spool files, frequently in different outqueues.

For me, at the moment Jobs in system = 7984 while WRKACTJOB shows 563
currently running.  Total spool files across all outqueues exceeds
12000.

Subject: WRKSYSSTS Problem.... I think


I have several machines on 4.5 and 5.1. I noticed when I do a WRKSYSSTS
and look at the Jobs In System, it shows a number that I have always
known as benig the total number of jobs in the system, ie... spool
files, jobs running... ect. But now I am confused, I just displayed it
and it shows:

Jobs in system . . . . . :       3253

When I looks at my WRKACTJOB it shows:

Active jobs:   598

I assume that out fo the 3253 jobs on my system, 598 of them are regular
jobs on the WRKACTJOBS screen, counting some task and hidden jobs not
showing up. So that should at least leave me with 2655 "other" jobs on
the system.When I do a WRKOUTQ I see:

NSMDOWN        CSTLX            6377
QPRINT         QGPL             3679 

this is not counting alot of other queues that have several hundred jobs
in them. I just listed the ones that were in the thousands.

Why doesnt the Jobs In The System total up to any of this now?
