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

Bob,
Here's a simple CLP that does the trick.

             PGM        PARM(&JOB)                                   
             DCL        VAR(&JOB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)                
             DCL        VAR(&MSGID) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7)               
             DCL        VAR(&MSGDTA) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(128)            
             DCL        VAR(&NBR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)                 
             DCL        VAR(&LAST) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)                
                                                                     
             MONMSG  MSGID(CPF1332 CPF1336 CPF1349) EXEC(GOTO GETJOB)
             CHGJOB     JOB(&JOB) OUTPTY(5) DUPJOBOPT(*MSG)          
             RLSJOB     JOB(&JOB)                                    
             RETURN                                                  
 GETJOB:     RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*EXCP) MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) MSGID(&MSGID)     
 LOOP:       IF (&MSGID = CPF0906 *OR &MSGID = CPF1332) +            
                 RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*DIAG) MSGDTA(&MSGDTA) MSGID(&MSGID) 
             IF (&MSGID *NE ' ') DO                                  
                  CHGVAR &NBR %SST(&MSGDTA 21 6)                     
                  IF (&NBR > &LAST) CHGVAR &LAST &NBR                
                  IF (&MSGID = CPF0906) GOTO LOOP                    
             ENDDO                                                   
                                                                     
             SNDPGMMSG  MSGID(CPI2401) MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGDTA('Last +   
                          job is' *BCAT &LAST)                        
             ENDPGM 
Cheers, Peter

        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.

Holidays to the
