Re: Ques regd Job Number

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yikes! A million submitted jobs in one day?

Is it the entire 26 characters? It's possible to specify a job on WRKJOB 
without using the user name, as in DSPJOB (015849/*N/QPADEV000N)

And the job APIs speak of an internal job ID of 16 characters. It is not 
usable by us mortals except as returned from, say, the list jobs API and 
passed to other job APIs.
