For reference, the past thread of the same Subject:
<http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/201105/threads.html#00051>

Is anyone aware of and willing to share the hopefully since-revealed secret incantation to effect the retrieval of the library list information from a not-yet-active job on the Job Queue (JOBQ)? The topic thread from 2011 identified a PTF that apparently both included the Retrieve Job Information (QUSRJOBI) API and provided a capability to obtain the [some portion(s) of the LIBL information [what of SYSLIBL, CURLIB, and INLLIBL <aka\effectively USRLIBL> was not made clear]; presumably that capability was exposed via QUSRJOBI, and part of the base OS in v7r2 such that no PTF would be required. My inquiry is purely academic, as I have no access to any /current/ release.

If the capability is in that QUSRJOBI API, without doing anything special, then the documentation seems amiss [at least for being unchanged]. The docs still, up to IBM i 7.2, clearly state that the library list information formats return data *only* for an *active job* and there are no clarifications within either of the "Usage Notes" or each JOBI07## Format documentation about how both the library list details from a job on a job queue would be merely partially resolved pending the job becoming active and how the Job Status would need to be checked for '*JOBQ' to know the difference [similar to how other formats warn about results if JobStatus=*JOBQ].
