Hi all,
can anyone tell me how to save joblog for 100 jobs in one go?
I use to execute jobs all over the day and in end of the day count goes to 100+. Its very time taking and irritating to save spool in the end of the day. I tried invoking SDSF in batch mode but there i can give one job at a time.
Is there any way I can save all my spool at the same time? Can anyone give me some hints if I can use REXX to code such utility.

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA, Mayank

Search for ISFAFD in this forum and you will find examples of listings jobs for a specific prefix. Then you can create an input like in your own jcl for each job.

Dibakar,
i want to save all joblogs in a single step but in different data sets. how can i keep changing the dataset names for each job in my spool?

dohellwithmf,

You need to break your job into three setps -

Step 1: Extract relevant jobnames, search for examples in the forum

Step 2: Create D172445.ISFIN dataset using from the joblist saved in step 1. You may write a COBOL or REXX or any other code to do that. Maybe you can find sort eaxmples to do the same

dohellwithmf, Using ISFEXEC host command you can acess the spool data, search for that. Please check the link also for more information

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r9.isfa500/isf4cs70247.htm

Let me know in case if you need an example, i can share the piece of code where i am using the spool information.

Thanks Sivraj !!
The tool is working as expected. User can provide Jobname and Owner id and the first 2-3 node of the file he wish to write into. But its taking loads of time. It tool 10 mins to copy 16 joblogs (few were abended so they had more lines).

Can we optimize the code? Pls note that i have not included error/exception handling yet so the time taken will increase more once i'll place error handling in this.
