List Job Schedule Entries (QWCLSCDE) API

The List Job Schedule Entries (QWCLSCDE) API lists the entries in the job schedule, QDFTJOBSCD. A subset of the list can be created by using the job schedule entry name parameter. The generated list replaces any existing list in the user space.

The QWCLSCDE API produces a list similar to the list produced by the Work with Job Schedule Entries (WRKJOBSCDE) command.

Required Parameter Group

Qualified user space name

INPUT; CHAR(20)

The user space that is to receive the created list. The first 10 characters contain the user space name, and the second 10 characters contain the name of the library where the user space is located. You can use these special values for the library name:

*CURLIB	The job's current library
*LIBL	The library list

Format name

INPUT; CHAR(8)

The content and format of the information returned for each member. The possible format names are:

SCDL0100	Basic job schedule entries list.
SCDL0200	Detailed job schedule entries list. This format requires more processing than the SCDL0100 format.

For more information, see SCDL0100 Format or SCDL0200 Format.

Job schedule entry name

INPUT; CHAR(10)

The job schedule entry about which to retrieve information. This can be used to create a subset of job schedule entries by using the following values:

*ALL	All of the job schedule entries are returned in the list.
generic*	All of the job schedule entries beginning with the generic value are returned in the list.
name	The job schedule entries with the given name are returned in the list.

Continuation handle

INPUT; CHAR(16)

The value returned to the user in the header section when a partial list is returned. The possible values are:

blank	This will start at the beginning of the list.
value	The entries after this value matching the job schedule entry name specified will be returned in the list. For more information on using this value to process a partial list, see Partial list considerations.

Error code

I/O; CHAR(*)

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter.

Format of the Generated Lists

The file member list consists of:

• A user area
• A generic header
• An input parameter section
• A header section
• A list data section:
  • SCDL0100 format
  • SCDL0200 format

For details about the user area and generic header, see User spaces. For details about the remaining items, see the following sections. For detailed descriptions of the fields in the list returned, see Field Descriptions.

When you retrieve list entry information from a user space, you must use the entry size returned in the generic header. The size of each entry may be padded at the end. If you do not use the entry size, the result may not be valid. For examples of how to process lists, see Examples: APIs and exit programs.

Field Descriptions

Command. A command that runs in the submitted batch job if the routing program used when this batch job is started is the IBM-supplied default routing program QCMD. Because this command is used for the request data, this parameter takes the place of any value specified for the RQSDTA parameter in the job description.

Continuation handle. The value used to process a partial list. This value is put in the header section when a partial list is returned. For more information on processing a partial list, see Partial list considerations.

Dates omitted. Specifies up to 20 dates when the job should not be submitted. The dates will be in the format CYYMMDD, where C is the century, YY is the year, MM is the month, and DD is the day. A 0 for the century flag indicates years 19xx and a 1 indicates years 20xx. If no omit dates are specified, this field contains hexadecimal zeros.

Entry number. The entry number assigned to the job schedule entry. The entry number can range from 000001 through 999999.

Format name. The content and format of the information returned for each job schedule entry.

Frequency. How often the job schedule entry is to be submitted to run. Valid values are:

Information status. Whether or not the entry information could be successfully retrieved.

Job description name. The name of the job description used for the job schedule entry.

Job description library name. The name of the library in which the job description is located.

Job name. The job name associated with the job schedule entry.

Job queue library name. The name of the library in which the specified job queue resides.

Job queue name. The name of the job queue where the job should be placed when it is submitted. Valid values are:

Job queue status. The current status of the job queue. Valid values are:

Job schedule entry name used. The job name used to identify the job schedule entry.

Last attempted submission date. The date on which a job could have been last submitted. The value is returned in the format CYYMMDD, where C is the century, YY is the year, MM is the month, and DD is the day. A 0 for the century flag indicates years 19xx and a 1 indicates years 20xx. If no submission has been attempted, this field contains hexadecimal zeros.

Last attempted submission time. The time at which a job could have been last submitted from this entry. The value is returned in the format HHMMSS, where HH is hours, MM is minutes, and SS is seconds. If no submission has been attempted, this field contains hexadecimal zeros.

Last submission date. The date on which a job was last submitted from this entry. The value is returned in the format CYYMMDD, where C is the century, YY is the year, MM is the month, and DD is the day. A 0 for the century flag indicates years 19xx and a 1 indicates years 20xx. If there has been no previous submission, this field contains hexadecimal zeros.

Last submission job name. The job name of the last job that was submitted from this entry. If there has been no previous submission, this field contains blanks.

Last submission job number. The job number of the last job that was submitted from this entry. If there has been no previous submission, this field contains blanks.
