RE: Get the last job number for a job run everyday.

This is from QHST.  Display QHST to an outfile, run an SQL or RPGIV to extract the CPF1164 COMPLETION message for the number/user/job.  The first line has a lot of verbage, where as the second line is all the info you need: Job name, user name, job number, date and time.  By the way, the second line is message data for CPF1164. 

CPF1124  00  INFO         Job 603516/APES/ARBILCYCT1 started on 12/20/00 at 23:12:01
                      ARBILCYCT1 APES       603516                   12/20/00 23:12:01
CPF1164  00  COMPLETION   Job 603516/APES/ARBILCYCT1 ended on 12/20/00 at 23:24:41
                      ARBILCYCT1 APES       603516                   12/20/00 23:24:41

I need to get the user NAME and JOB NUMBER after the job completes for SNDNETSPLF for a CLP
  that runs the next Day.

   I need to get a jobs last run number. The job name will always be
the same.
   I was looking at API QWCRJBST but that returns the status of a job
but you must pass it            
   JOB/USER/NUMBER. I want to pass a job name to a API and get the last
/NUMBER.






How about using the program status data structure to retrieve it in your RPG
program and then store it in a DTAARA, physical file, or LDA if possible.
