Re: Job name

The Function column will display the program name, as in PGM-TESTCX. But 
this is pretty unreliable - lots of other things may appear here, including 
DLYJOB.

A couple ways to submit the second job - when you submit it, you will get a 
message with its job number, etc. With this info you can use the Retrieve 
Job Info API 
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/index.htm?info/apis/qusrjobi.htm> 
with a DLYJOB. This has the advantage of targeting only the job you 
submitted. Disadvantage is a little time lag after job ends - up to 
duration of DLYJOB.

You could also use the job notification exit point (see 
<http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/index.htm?info/apis/xjobntfy.htm>) 
and RCVDTAQ in a loop. Every job that goes through the specified subsystem 
will show up on the queue - you check against the values from your submit. 
Advantage is it responds immediately to job ending. Disadvantage is, every 
job end is put on the queue.
