SMF 30 subtype 5 won't report abends; PROGRAMs abend, not JOBs, and the subtype 4 must be used to identify PROGRAMS that abended.
The contents of the 30 subtype 5 might reflect an abend in the LAST step, but not the CONDCODE nor ABEND type. From MXG Documentation in its ADOC30 member: Jobs do not abend, steps do. If the last step executed had an ABEND, this field in TYPE30_5 will have meaning, but if there were flushed steps after an abending step, this field could contain the indication of an ABEND, but the variable CONDCODE in TYPE30_5 will be blank, as only the TYPE30_4 record for the ABENDING step will have the actual condition code associated with the ABEND. Thus all ABEND analysis must be done from the TYPE30_4 (or its PDB equivalent, PDB.STEPS). Barry Merrill Herbert W.
