Re: Job name?

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HEllo Tony,

The job name for a batch job comes from the SBMJOB command--specifically the 
JOB keyword. This in turn defaults to *JOBD which causes the job to use the 
simple name of the job description specified on the JOBD keyword. This 
defaults to *USRPRF which causes the job description specified in the user 
profile of the user running SBMJOB to be used. These values can be overriden 
on the SBMJOB command. 

The system does not magically use the name of the program for a batch job 
(unless it is a Batch Immediate job started by spawn()). So either you have a 
shop naming convention that sets the job name to the program on the SBMJOB 
command, or you have different job descriptions for every batch job (hard to 
believe), or you are using spawn and don't know it.

And yes, the Work Management guide explains this in detail.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
