Re: JobLog Creation

After wondering if we could spare the space to hold all of the joblogs, we bit the bullet and changed our system default to save all joblogs as log(4 00 *seclvl) logclpgm(*YES).

We change the default JOBLOG output queue to a queue named for the day of the week (along with the default dump queues, etc.). We clear the queues 2 days after they are used.

Although the space is sometimes impressive, it's usually due to a job that we'd want to see the joblog for anyway.

created.


I don't want to change the SIGNOFF command's default. I checked the user
profiles and job descriptions but did not see any option in either place.


On the other hand I can see where a command to create a joblog at the end
(or middle) of a user procedure would be acceptable in a few cases.
