RE: JobLog Creation

This behavior completely depends on how the log levels were set and the start of the job.

If they were set to collect the data (say log level 4) and not create a joblog,(*NOLIST) then turning on the job logging function will provide the data since it was collected as the job runs.

Conversely if the logging level was set to zero at the start of the job or any time thereafter, then the logging is not there to retrieve.

So, in a sense all who have said yes, the data is there, and those that suggested it would not be are correct. "it depends......."

I once got the impression that while a job is running, it is always
capturing all the log information and that you could change the job's
logging and see that data. So, even though the job is currently at (0
00 *NOLIST), you could change it to (4 00 *SECLVL) and see all the old
data.

Subsequent testing has indicated that to not be the case. As far as I
can tell, if you turn off logging, that information is lost forever.

Does anybody remember it being any different in "the old days"? Or is
this just something I misremembered?

I remember this as S/38 behaviour. I believe that LOGLVL is not a filter for reading messages out of the job log; it is a filter for putting them into the job log.
