Re: Capturing job log information on a text file

Have you looked into the accounting code? This can be set in the user
profile or changed by the CHGACCCDE command to change the accounting code
for a job. This can be logged to the system accounting journal. Search the
Information Center for "accounting code".

Capturing job log information on a text file






Hello.
I had sent the question included herein to be posted on RPG 400
programming
to rpg400-l-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxx; however, it got rejected since the
moderator considered it had nothing to do with RPG programming. Well,
since
they advised me to send it to this forum, I am proceeding as suggested and
hope this time around it gets approved for posting. Thank you, in advance.
The message I would like to be posted is as follows:

Hello.
First of all, I am not a programmer, so what I'm looking for is some sort
of
guidance with a project I have.
I know AS/400 from a user/administrative perspective but I have been asked
to come up with a way to export the start and end times of jobs running in
QBATCH subsystem to a flat file that then can be exported to a document
such
as a spreasheet. This is to reflect the times both start, end and the
obtain
the elapsed time for a series of jobs that run in a daily basis.

Since I have no prior programming experience on RPG or COBOL or the sort,
I
have no clue on how to do this (well, so maybe someone can start by
recommending me to study programming in this environment but I would like
to
take that approach only if necessary)
I have tools such as the entire IBM ISeries Access for Windows kit (That
comes with a green screen 5250 emulator and Windows Navigator interface)
but
cannot seem to find a way to do that here.
If I could only find a way to capture the start and end times of jobs
(from
job log) and export that information to a file, that's basically all I
need.

Any one has any idea? Maybe someone can even refer me to a proper forum.
Thanks a lot for any help.....In advance.

Regards,
Moris
