Re: How to search job log of an active job

Not only did you reply with DSPJOB instead of DSPJOBLOG but why in the
world would you want to go to a spool file instead of querying the joblog
directly?
If you want to query a DB2 file do you do CPYF FROMFILE(MYLIB/MYFILE)
TOFILE(*PRINT) and then query that spool file or do you query the file
directly?
BTW we changed the system value QLOGOUTPUT over a decade ago to stop
generating spool files of joblogs and leave them in *PND state to ease
querying them and not leave users deleting spool files we needed.

Is there a way to search the text of a job log while that job is still
running?

Is there a way to output the job log of an active job to an output file,
spooled file, or stream file?
