Re: Retreive job number for SBMJOB

I believe you are thinking of the exception data written into the program 
status data structure.  I do not think that gets updated unless there is 
an error condition.  system won't update this either way, only QCMDEXC 
does, and again, I only think so if there is an error.  I was checking the 
exception message id for errors upon execution of QCMDEXC.  Big mistake. 
One needs to check %error first, and then the exception message.  Because 
if it errors once, it doesn't clear that part of the data structure when 
it goes successfully.  So QCMDEXC becomes
callp(e) qcmdexc(%CmdVarLen:%len(CmdVarLen));
if %error;
  select;
    when ExcpMsg=...;
    other;
  EndSl;
EndIf;

or
Select;
  When not %error;
  When ExcpMsg=...;
  Other;
EndSl;

What would get returned from QCAPCMD?
