Re: Job logs

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

On V5R4 (or above) do this:
WRKSYSVAL QLOGOUTPUT
Change it to *PND.  Upon job completion you will do a
WRKJOB 
10. Display job log, if active, on job queue, or pending
Notice the "pending".
You will NOT use 4. Work with spooled files,
See also:
WRKJOBLOG
WRKJOBLOG JOB(ROB/*ALL) to see joblogs by user
WRKJOBLOG JOB(BACKUP) to see joblogs by job
To get a printed copy you will have to do a 
DSPJOBLOG JOB(963412/PEGGY/BACKUP) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

See also 
CHGJOBD JOBD(BUBBA) LOGOUTPUT(*PND)
Remove Pending Job Log (QWTRMVJL) API
ENDJOB JOB(123456/SUSAN/MYBATCH) LOGLMT(0) to clear a pending joblog.

If you have a huge joblog that kicks off *PRTWRAP then expect some spool 
files still.  You will still need to do the WRKJOBLOG or WRKJOB to see the 
tail end of the joblog.
