I've never heard of *JOBMGT, so maybe you meant *JOBCTL?
 
In any case, *JOBCTL let's you look at and modify the properties of
someone else's job.  But it does not grant the ability to see a job of a
user who has *ALLOBJ special authority (unless, of course you also have
*ALLOBJ authority).  If you want to see the joblog of someone with
*ALLOBJ authority, use a little program like this.
 
 
PGM   PARM(&JobName &JobNumber)
 
DCL &JobName   *CHAR 10
DCL &JobNumber *CHAR 6
 
DSPJOBLOG JOB(&JobNumber/*N/&JobName)
 
ENDPGM
 
Have this program adopt the authority of an *ALLOBJ user, and then
authorize a limited number of people to *USE the program, and voila!
Problem solved.
