STATUS command operand

z/OS TSO/E Command Reference
SA32-0975-00

(jobname (jobid))
specifies the name of the batch job for which you want to know the status. If two or more jobs have the same job name, the system displays the status of all the jobs encountered and supplies job IDs for identification. When more than one job name is included in the list, the list must be enclosed within parentheses. When you specify a list of job names, you must separate the job names with standard delimiters. By default, if you do not specify any job names, you receive the status of all batch jobs in the system whose job names consist of your user ID and one identifying character (alphabetic, numeric, or one of the special characters #, $, or @). The processing may be different if your installation has replaced the default IBM-supplied installation exit.
The optional job ID subfield can consist of 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters. The first character must be alphabetic or one of the special characters (#, $, or @). The job ID is a unique job identifier assigned by the job entry subsystem (JES) at the time the job was submitted to the batch system. Currently the only valid forms of job identifiers (jobid) assigned by JES are:
  • JOBnnnnn or Jnnnnnnn - Jobs
  • STCnnnnn or Snnnnnnn - Started Tasks
  • TSUnnnnn or Tnnnnnnn - TSO Users
