What does it mean to people that have not heard of JES? I guess such people the have not much knowledge about z/OS either. In that case, I'd say don't tell them anything about the jobid at all. Why? Because it is not telling you much anyway. If I run a shell command from TSO, it will normally be run in my TSO address space, tos the jobid associated with this command would be Tnnnnnnn. If I run the command in batch, it might be running in the batch job's AS or in a UNIX initiator AS (BPXAS), so the jobid would be Jnnnnnnn or Snnnnnnn, resp.. And if the same command is run from an STC, it mit be running in the STC's AS or again in a UNIX initiator AS, but the jobid will be Snnnnnnn in both cases. But even standard MVS services might be run as STC or as batch job. Some run CICS or IMS as STC, some as batch job. So, CICS/IMS will show up as either Snnnnnnn or Jnnnnnnn. -- Peter Hunkeler -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
