I didn't read through all of the responses. My answer to this need was to
create a system exit point to record this data, and a program to translate
that into a file through a DTAQ. We're only tracking things in QBATCH, how
long they sat in the queue, how long they ran, and the start/end
statistics. It comes in pretty handy to query if we need a quick history
of how long a particular daily job has been running. Here is the exit
point setup.
* SETUP NOTES:
* This program assumes that the following steps were taken so
that
* the DTAQ was populated (ref. QBIM_QWT_JOBNOTIFY IBM exit point
docs):
*
* 1. CRTDTAQ DTAQ(QGPL/JOBNOTIFY) MAXLEN(144) SEQ(*KEYED)
KEYLEN(4) SIZE(*MAX2GB)
* 2. ADDEXITPGM EXITPNT(QIBM_QWT_JOBNOTIFY)
* FORMAT(NTFY0100)
* PGMNBR(*LOW)
* PGM(QGPL/JOBNOTIFY)
* PGMDTA(*JOB *CALC '0002QBATCH QSYS ')
*
* Use WRKREGINF to see existing entries.

I need to find job start, job end, calculate total job time for a group of
users, TST*, for a selected date range.
From QHST, I was planning on dumping CPF1164 to a spoolfile/db file, then
select out the needed data.
Is there a better tool for this task?
Any thoughts from the group?
Thank You
