I have always felt this way too. And after ALL THESE YEARS you are the
only other person I've heard say it.

I am a bit fan of leaving messages in the joblog. I think the joblog is
one of the best features of the IBM i. Years ago, I had a bit of a fight
with someone working in the OS who was horrified that the RPG runtime
wasn't removing all MCH and CPF error messages from the joblog and
issuing RPG-specific ones. I said that we couldn't possible include all
the information that was in the original messages. They finally gave up
trying to convince me, yay.
Another best feature that goes along with the wonderful joblog is the
exception-based nature of the IBM i, vs the return-code-based nature of
other systems. I like the way programmers get an exception that goes in
the joblog if they forget to monitor for some error rather than
continuing to work with a bad result in silence if they forget to check
a return code.
