DIR output with JESINTERFACELEVEL=1

z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands
SC27-3662-00

The following is a sample of the DIR output with JESINTERFACELEVEL=1:
 MYUSRIDA JOB05444 OUTPUT 3 spool Files 

 MYUSRIDB JOB05766 OUTPUT 6 spool Files 

 MYUSRIDC JOB05832 OUTPUT 6 spool Files 

 MYUSRIDD JOB05946 ACTIVE 

 MYUSRIDE JOB06021 INPUT 

     1        2      3         4        
  1. The first column displays the job name.
  2. The second column displays the job ID, assigned by JES. This 8-character job ID, consisting of the word JOB followed by a 5-digit number or the letter J followed by a 7-digit number, is assigned by JES to identify your job.
  3. The third column displays the status of the job.
    The status is one of the following:
    INPUT
    The job was received, but not run yet. If the JCL specified that the job be put on hold, it appears with this status.
    ACTIVE
    The job is running.
    OUTPUT
    The job has finished and has output to be printed or retrieved. For each OUTPUT job, there are spool files that consist of JCL messages, JES messages, initiator and terminator messages, and SYSOUT. For jobs with a status of OUTPUT, the number of spool files for each job is specified in the DIR display output.
  4. The fourth part of the display lists the number of retrievable spool files for the job.
    Note: The LS subcommand lists the job ID without the job status or number of spool files. Providing this spool information consumes a lot of computer resources. Use the LS subcommand rather than the DIR subcommand when the job status and number of spool files are not required.
