Re: Question on securing joblogs

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  The /job message queue/ is truncated after QPJOBLOG is spooled. 
The JMQ is a compact control block of message ID [and details], 
whereas the QPJOBLOG is a verbose mashup of the text from each 
message ID, first and sometimes second level text [according to the 
LOG() filtering that was set for the job], and the associated 
formatting [including blanks].  I think it is probably safe to say 
that the *PND will have a disk-saving effect as compared to 
defaulting to spooling.  However, consider that the spool member 
purging rules, could skew the results for the ability to visualize 
the effect either way.
