Is the message text for the Message ID that triggered the WRKWCH included in the WRKWCH data?
I'm not finding it in of the WRKWCH variables.

If not, can it retrieved, with the variables?

Subject: WRKWCH suggestions to replace HALCYON joblog monitor
I need to improve the performance of my current Halcyon joblog monitors.
Currently, HALCYON dumps the joblog to a temp file, then scans the file for desired message id.
From a functionality standpoint, works well, offers many select options.
From a performance standpoint, not acceptable, causing TB disk written/day.
Reviewed and tested various SQL using IBM system catalogs.
Unsuccessful.
It's been suggested from several in the group to use IBM WRKCH.
I've done a few over the years, works well.
I currently have 3 joblog monitors.
1) Info print writer - Incorrect Data was returned by mapping program - PQT3073 PQT4154
2) Netserver Users Connection - job QZLSFILE - CPIAD12
3) SSL RXS_Transmit() encountered unexpected transmission error - KTA0203
Will be adding more.
Here's the main question.
1) Should a separate WRKWCH be created for each monitor or should they be combined into a single WRKWCH.
2) Pros/cons.
3) Performance impact of the WRKWCH
Thank You
