PI68837: IBM EXPLORER FOR z/OS JOB CLASS FIELD IN JES NEW FILTER > JOB OUTPUT CLASS AND TABLE VIEW IS MISSING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Explorer for z/OS
  
  The Job Class field is not populated as expected.
  
  For example, if you execute a job that has a msgclass of H
  specified on the JOB card.  The Joblog shows a class of A.
  
  In SDSF this job shows that the class A is in column C.
  Column C is defined as the JES Output Class.
  
  If you create JES Job filter with H as the job output class
  then it will find the job that has a msgclass of H specified on
  the job card. The H is not displayed in Sysout Class field, nor
  any other field/column.
  
  In the Property view of the job and in the table view it states
  that Column C is the Job class.
