Mark, thanks for the explanation. However, I find it strange that almost all of the jobs I have looked at in our archives have no TCB or SRB time. I can't believe that all of them are that short running, but who knows? Jon

I just looked at a few jobs again (again) and it appears to be correct. I am using the SAMPLIB version, with the change described by OA31624, along with a bunch of code inserted to create an EXCP flower box on JESYSMSG (the code I retrofitted from past IEFACTRT versions I used). Maybe you (and others) are not aware those times are in minutes, so they often show up as .00 for TCB and SRB for short steps. Because of the way rounding / shifting is done, you need at least .60 seconds of TCB time to even get .01 minutes of TCB to show up on the joblog. Of course the same applies to SRB and it is even more likely to show .00. Go ahead and try some tests.. perhaps running a REXX in batch with a (large) DO loop.
