I'll second that and recommend getting a copy of API's at Work by Bruce Vining, Doug Pence and Ron Hawkins.
The text, free code and a couple week's work will set a person up . . .

Sorry, this is going to come off harsh.  I really mean it with love though.
God save me from people that are so API phobic that believe every solution is to generate a spool file, copy it to disk, and analyze that!
Really, parsing out a substring that can shift positions in the line based on how long the job name and/or user are, or what version of the OS you are running, or... is easier than learning something new?

Maybe you can perform DSPJOBLOG with output and look for the data you need
2015-03-19 7:30 GMT-06:00 Rich Loeber <rich@xxxxxxxxx>:
   I think I'm having a brain cramp.  Is there an easy way in a CL 
program to
   find out what subsystem the program is currently running in?  I would 
have
   thought it would be available from RTVJOBA, but no dice.  I also 
looked at
   the values returned from the QUSLJOB API but I don't see it there 
either.
   Suggestions?
