Doh! Joblog is produced AFTER the job ends, and the message entries
previously logged dutifully noted the current library and object
name. Recompiling with REPLACE moved the object, but the message
entries still refer back to the replaced object...

Ah yes... the ole "Messaging From\To program information is derived at DSPJOBLOG time rather than reflecting the name of the program at the time the message was sent\received [because the sender\receiver objects are tracked in the job message queue by address vs by name]".

The dayend job ran as expected after all. I think I need a
cerveza(s)...

Imagine how frustrating to review a failure in a joblog of job running during a PTF application [even the PTF application job itself can be a challenge] with all those renamed\moved objects ;-) and sometimes even worse, if the joblog was not taken until after someone had done CLRLIB QRPLOBJ so that many program names appear as *N instead! I many times had wished the names had been stored [instead], and those names used instead; just not worth it I suppose, given how rarely that should be an issue. I would trudge my way through, and likely followup such difficult investigations with unas cervezas :-)
