Re: Ques regd Job Number

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On submitting a job, there is a completion message that reports the
qualified name of the job.

Job numbers have not been purely unique since V4R1.  Today, when the system
goes to assign the next job number, it looks for a unique match for the
full 26 character string, so it's possible to have multiple jobs in the
system with duplicate numbers.  I have a customer that wraps their job
number daily.  (Not very well written software.)

How is the number stored?  Beats me, but I know no way to access it.
