Error messages

The Display Job (DSPJOB) command shows, for the specified job, any of the following information:

The information can be shown whether the job is on the job queue, on an output queue, or active in the system. Note, however, that the job is not considered to be in the system until all of its input has been completely read in; only then is an entry placed on the job queue.

Restrictions:

  1. The issuer of the command must be running under a user profile which is the same as the job user identity of the job being displayed, or the issuer of the command must be running under a user profile which has job control (*JOBCTL) special authority.

    The job user identity is the name of the user profile by which a job is known to other jobs. More information about the job user identity is in the Work Management information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter.

  2. Activation group information for a job cannot be shown if the job is being held when this command is run.

  3. This command fails in a job that allows multiple threads if OPTION(*FILOVR) or OPTION(*ALL) is specified.
