Job logs external to job

* Need to generate job logs for Job A from Job B.
* Need both database output (primary and secondary) and spooled output.
* Need the spooled output to show Job A job number/user name/job name.

Note that Spooled output format is not guaranteed so I cannot simply read in a spooled file and hope to consistently parse out needed information. Therefore, my need for both DB and spooled file.

I can use QMHCTLJL to set Job A to output to the DB files using DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*APIDFN) but "*APIDFN can only be specified if JOB(*) was also specified". So, I cannot generate the files from Job B.

DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) "only allows a primary output file to be produced".

Specifying DSPJOBLOG JOB(jobName userId jobNumber) OUTPUT(*PRINT) from Job B gives spooled output with Job B information in the spooled output identification fields:
QPJOBLOG 2 QDFTJOBD jobBUser jobBNumber 10/07/10 12:33:11
And, the same is true with DSPJOB OPTION(*JOBLOG).

I also get the same information in the spooled file fields if I allow Job A to produce the database files via Job End processing, create the job log and then spool the job log myself.

I understand why the fields are produced the way that they are, but that isn't helping. I've also looked for an exit program that would provide what I need without success.

Any help would be appreciated.
