Detemine job completion status

Does anyone know if there is a way to find a job completion status
(normal/abnormal) for job that does not create any spool file (another
word, the job is gone!).
 
Below is what I'm doing:
1) I created a service program we an export procedure call
trdWaitForAllThreadToComp.
2) This procedure basically go thru the current joblog to find all
submitted jobs and wait for all those jobs to complete before return
control back to the caller.
3) This procedure uses QUSRJOBI to terminal the status of the submitted
job.  When a submitted job ended abnormally, I want to send an *inq
message to operator to see if it should continue on or error out.  That
is where the above question comes in.  When a job completed without
generating any spool file, QUSRJOBI is not able to find the job and
error out.
