Formats of the Job List Screen

You had previously used the DESC command to ensure the desired format of the screen. This command confirmed that you wanted the display type that shows the description of the job, as taken from the DESC field in the job scheduling definition, to be displayed next to the job name.

Table 3 describes the commands used to display other information.

Table 3 Commands to Display Job List Screen Formats

Command

Description

DATA

Command DATA displays the Application name and Group name of the job next to the job name. The Application name and Group name are taken from the corresponding fields in the job scheduling definition.

STAT

Command STAT displays, next to the job name, the following ISPF-like statistical information about the job: Version and modification numbers, creation date, last modification date, and user ID.

Alternate between specifying the DATA, STAT, and DESC commands in the COMMAND field of the Job List screen, and note the differences in the display following the entry of each command. Ensure that the last command you enter is DESC, because that is the format you are using in the exercises in this guide.

Note that whichever format you use, the actual jobs listed in the screen, that is, jobs IDJOB1 and IDJOB2, remain the same. The format of the Job List screen does not affect which jobs are listed. It only affects the accompanying data that is displayed for those jobs.
