This requires Groovy and JT400 but it writes out a pipe delimited file you could then pull into excel and put into a database of your choice or you could recode it to use jdbc and put it a database directly. It skips anything you get an error on because I live in a service bureau world and I'm not authorized to a lot of the jobds that get found.

If you run this on windows as a script you'll get prompted for the machine and your login credentials. IIRC if you run the script in the IFS it will use your currently logged in credentials on that box, but I haven't had IFS access to run Groovy for years.

import com.ibm.as400.access.*;

def system = new AS400();
def jobdList = new ObjectList(system, ObjectList.ALL, ObjectList.ALL, '*JOBD');

println 'JOBDLIB|JOBDNAME|LASTUSED|LIBRARY'
jobdList.getObjects().each() { objd ->
try {
def jobd = new JobDescription(system, objd.getLibrary(), objd.getName());
def objDate = objd.getValue(ObjectDescription.LAST_USED_DATE);
def fmtdDate = (objDate == null) ? '' : objDate.format('yyyy-MM-dd');
jobd.getInitialLibraryList().each() { lib ->
println objd.getLibrary() + '|' + objd.getName() + '|' + fmtdDate + '|' + lib;
}
}catch (e) {
}
}

jobdList.close();
System.exit(0);

Joel,
1) dump all job descriptions to a work file
2) create table normaljd as (
select distinct jobd from workjobd )
with data
to get last-used date you will need to add detail to the above, but this should help get you going

Subject: JOBD analysis

I would like to dump all job descriptions to an *OUTFILE with their library list as a "normalized" file, ie one record for each lib in the *libl of the JOBD.

Also include last-used date of the JOBD.

The goal is to find out which JOBD's reference certain TEST libraries.

Any ideas how to accomplish?

Thanks
