Re: Ques regd Job Number -- MIDRANGE-L

Yikes! A million submitted jobs in one day?

Is it the entire 26 characters? It's possible to specify a job on WRKJOB without using the user name, as in DSPJOB (015849/*N/QPADEV000N)

And the job APIs speak of an internal job ID of 16 characters. It is not usable by us mortals except as returned from, say, the list jobs API and passed to other job APIs.

On submitting a job, there is a completion message that reports the

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.
