The Set Step using Job Scheduler (SETSTPJS) command display allows you to label steps in your application for logging purposes. For example, you may wish to set a step in your program at the start of a backup or when a backup completes. You can label the step "Backup beginning" or "Backup complete" and set LOG to *YES. This will output the text to the JS log once the step is reached.
If you want to see your steps for an application, you can view them in three places. These include:
- IBM Advanced Job Scheduler for i for Wireless

Select Details from the job options list. The details for the job are displayed. The step text is displayed next to Step.
