Lionel and I have been communicating about his very nice SDSFXDD, because it
wasn't working for me.
For me it only finds jobs whose jobname starts with your userid. If I have
jobs in O queue:
NP JOBNAME JobID Owner Prty C Forms Dest Tot-Rec
PHS1 JOB04436 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 7
PHS1 JOB04436 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 1,094
VSH1 JOB04440 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 7
VSH1 JOB04440 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 1,094
and I create a trivial test program:
/* REXX */
trace r
arg j
rc=isfcalls('ON')
address SDSF "ISFEXEC ST" j
say 'RC from ISFEXEC ST' j 'was' rc';' jname.0 'jobs found'
Run against VSH1 it finds nothing; against PHS1 it works (finds the job).
Meanwhile, if I do ST VSH1 in SDSF, I see:
NP JOBNAME JobID Owner Prty Queue C Pos
VSH1 JOB09766 RAW 1 PRINT A 58
VSH1 JOB09767 RAW 1 PRINT A 59
VSH1 JOB09768 RAW 1 PRINT A 60
VSH1 JOB09769 RAW 1 PRINT A 61
VSH1 JOB09781 RAW 1 PRINT A 62
VSH1 JOB09782 RAW 1 PRINT A 63
VSH1 JOB04440 PHS 1 PRINT A 101
It isn't getting confused by those other jobs, because if I run XYZZY and
then try my trivial test (or SDSFXDD) against that, I get nothing as well. I
did think I had seen something at one point that said "Jobnames starting
with PHS" but now I can't find wherever that was.
Anyone know what's going on here? Our system is very vanilla, no fancy
exits/program products beyond RACF involved here.
