Your syntax looks correct. A 99 usually means job is not in a runnable state.

If you are talking about operational data only then we have some killer reports which compare row counts to CPU utilization and disk utilization. As well as number of jobs running and paging information. Very complete information. You may need to go through IBM management and get our management's ap...

We started to but never got to the dashboard. We created the equivalent in a report at a couple of sites. I am not a Cognos or reporting person so I could never finish the task. The canned reports I called "Completeness" was more detailed and good enough for CFOs. There are several posts o...

Most of these are server jobs. You may need to modify them to accurately capture PX information. Some people have done that and I posted their changes. More than willing to do so. The original post was about logs. The log files of failed jobs are automatically emailed to whoever you want at the end ...

USS is a mainframe version of UNIX. It usually coexists with another OS. It has limitations. I never like these virtual OS. Seems like there are always issues especially in performance. If you are testing and need OS for a while to test a product then fine. If this is a production system then why ha...

By the way the sequences included get row counts for all jobs in the sequence at the end of the sequence. So all the jobs are examples of how to use the other jobs. Some reports are automatically sent at the end of these sequences. Audit reports of the row counts just generated can be very useful in...

The old versions of the jobs and DDL to create the tables are on my tips and tricks page on my sig. ...

Backslash can be used as a quote character. It sometimes messes up in the middle of a quote. Not sure why or how to stop it. We need a full Wurlod here. It seems to be more consistent in SQL SELECT.
