RE: [EXTERNAL] Log everything for a user

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

One option is to change the submitted job.  Have it check for a lock on the object.  If it finds a lock then list the locks, and snag their joblogs.

But that will only tell you the job, program, statement id and a few dozen other worthless things... ;-)

You know what.  I'm just going to change the SIGNOFF default to *LIST before leaving work tomorrow..  Hardly any sign ons over the weekend, so we should not get too many unwanted joblogs.
