That did not work for me. However, using ! (exclamation point) instead of + (plus sign) did work. Wonder why the difference.
Thanks for the tip!! I like to SORT POS A to see jobs in order from oldest to newest. Also, supposedly the command I! may include jobs still in execution. Very handy for finding a runaway job. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mingee, David Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 11:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Esoteric SDSF CMD Hello All, A slick little SDSF command for "newbies or those that may have forgot it" follows: Enter ST+ with prefix * and owner * then browse some of the files. If your system has been used somewhat normally, you should see output from months and probably years in the past. These jobs will stay in the jes queue until a COLD START is done and we do not do those very often these days or until they are purged individually. These old jobs resist the normal jes clean up cmds. They are stuck in this state due to having been put on HOLD while running vs. being held when in the INPUT queue or held when waiting to print. This is an easy way to free up some SPOOL space and surprise your co-workers. David L.
