Rob,
I found some with Device Error - but they had output from the job.
Still had the CPF2443 error when attempting to display job log.
When I deleted the spool in iNav, the job disappeared from the table (it should).
On this system I have an automated spool purge based on various criteria
so the delete of a spool from such a job would normally occur in a
batch job after xx days.
btw- these "device error" msgs could be user cancelling (X) CA session.

Jim,

I am browsing iNav now. I have several jobs with a status of Ended (can't
seem to get that sort to work). Normally you would expect "Completed -
Printer output available" or "Completed - Job log pending". I am still
looking but I've yet to come across any of these Ended jobs that didn't
have some sort of printer output still spooled up. And some of them do
have the detailed status of "Ended - Device error".

Just tried doing View, Customize this view, Columns. I added the Detailed
status column. Still can't get that to sort. Can't select by that status
either. Darn. Time to pmr, failing that, DCR.

<Rob wrote..You stated device errors and spool file errors was a cause.
Fact or hypothesis?

Earlier i wrote>
The iNav view showing me many interactive jobs in status "ended" with
no joblog - detailed status = 'Ended - Device Error' - going back over a
year.Same also for many writer jobs that ended abnormal.
All have no job log, and in the Job Log tab and then click "job log",
they show 'CPF2443 Job log not displayed or listed because job has
ended'.
Only problem is it still lists in Jobs In the System....
The DSPJOBTBL cmd confirms this. </quote>

Rob - it's hard to say where would show in dspsyssts - my ipl with the ipl

attribute to Clear Incomplete Joblogs removed the jobs from the table.
This customer site has many users on a Terminal Server, & I know they
sometimes have to reboot it during prime time so all interactive jobs
suddenly have a device error. I imagine this is all the Device Errors. The
spool errors were actually writer errors & I didn't get the error text,
but
same CPF2443 msg.
I do think what led me to this problem, that my total #spools plus
#active jobs plus jobs in queue was less than total jobs in the system.
Ended jobs with output may have multiple spools on disk so it will not
be "equal". But Total Jobs should not be more. It helped also that I
dug into the problem just after an ipl.
