IFS_JOB_INFO table function

The IFS_JOB_INFO table function returns a table that contains information about integrated file system references for a job.

This information is similar to what is returned by the Retrieve Referenced Objects (QP0LRRO) API.

The list of objects returned may be incomplete for objects residing in file systems other than the root (/), QOpenSys, and user-defined file systems. Objects in some of the other file systems can be locked with interfaces that do not use the integrated file system. Therefore, objects referenced by a job will only have references that were obtained as part of an integrated file system operation, or an operation that causes an integrated file system operation to occur.

Authorization: The user must be running with the same user profile as the job being retrieved or have *JOBCTL special authority.

job-name

An expression that returns the qualified job name whose reference information is to be returned. Can contain the following special value:

*: Return information for the current job.

ignore-errors

A character or graphic string expression that identifies what to do when an error is encountered.

NO: An error is returned.
YES: A warning is returned.; No row is returned when an error is encountered. This is the default.

The result of the function is a table containing rows with the format shown in the following table. All the columns are nullable.

RO_SHARE_NONE_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of read only accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with no other access intents.
WO_SHARE_R_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of write only accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with read and execute access intents only.

XO_SHARE_W_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of execute only accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with write access intents only.
XO_SHARE_RW_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of execute only accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with read, execute, and write access intents.
XO_SHARE_NONE_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of execute only accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with no other access intents.
XR_SHARE_R_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of execute and read accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with read and execute access intents only.
XR_SHARE_W_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of execute and read accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with write access intents only.
XR_SHARE_RW_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of execute and read accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with read, execute, and write access intents.
XR_SHARE_NONE_COUNT	INTEGER	Number of execute and read accesses for the job where the sharing mode allows sharing with no other access intents.
