Displaying job data sets

You can view job data sets in the JES subsystem.

Job data sets can be viewed individually or together in an editor.

Restriction: For obtaining up-to-date output for active jobs, getting the active job output is not supported for JES3 releases earlier than z/OS® V1R10. This limitation is caused by JES API limitations in the earlier releases. Use JES3 release z/OS V1R10 or later.

To see the list of job data sets in the JES subsystem of the Remote Systems view, expand JES > jobFilterName > jobName:jobID[jobStatus].
The list of data sets provides the step name, the procedure step name, the DD name, and the return code for the step.
To open the Properties view for a job data set, select the data set name.
