Input Queue

This view includes:

A graphical view of jobs by return code
A table of jobs, which you can modify by filtering, sorting and configuring the columns. From the table, you can take actions against jobs, display the data sets for a job, browse a job's output and edit the JCL for a job.
A properties sheet that shows all of the properties for a job that has been selected in the table. The properties are grouped into categories, which you can expand or collapse. You can modify the values of some properties. You can search the properties sheet to find a specific property. You can collapse or resize the properties sheet using the divider between it and the table. If the properties sheet is collapsed when you close the view, the properties sheet will be collapsed the next time you open the view.

You can expand or collapse sections so that the view shows just what is of interest to you.

Both the graphical view and the table reflect the filters set with Common Filters and with table filters.

Return code counts

This section gives a graphical view of jobs by return code. The key to the graph, which describes the meaning of the colors, reflects only those return codes that are present and represented in the graph. To view a text equivalent, click View Text.

The number following the title of this section is the number of jobs after filtering, if any. Hover the mouse pointer over a section of the graph to see the count for that segment.

The graph is created from the table data. If filters result in no rows being present in the table, there is no data to display in the graph.

Input Queue table

To take an action against a selected row or rows, use Actions. Actions that you have taken recently are shown first. For the complete list, click More actions. This displays a dialog that groups the actions by category. Click a category then an action.

To work with the data sets for a job, including browsing them, click the value in the JOBNAME column or use the Display Job Data Sets action.
