After you submit a batch job, you can use the STATUS command to display its status at your terminal. The display tells you whether the job is awaiting execution, is currently executing, or has executed but is still on the output queue. The display also indicates whether a job is in hold status.

You can obtain the status of all your batch jobs, of specific batch jobs, or of a single batch job. Using the STATUS command, you can specify which of your job's or jobs' status you want to display.

You can use this command only if the installation management has given you the authority to do so.
