First, you don't need a qualified job name for QUSLJOB (else what's the
point in "listing jobs" ?).  

You might also look at QGYOLJOB, but I would start with QUSLJOB, since it
seems more suited to your need as I understand it.  Take a closer look at
the parameters, and pay attention to special value '*ALL'.

I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas.  I took it to the Gift
Wrap department and told them to wrap it, but in a different print so he
would know when to stop unwrapping.
