Are you saying the entire record is duplicated? That would be unusual. Or is it just your selected fields that are appearing to be the same? It is possible for several jobs of the same name to enter the system with the same time stamp, things are now moving so fast. It is possible to get around this by selecting certain fields from the record to use as a unique job identifier. This works for me except in the case of a restarted job where some additional programming was required. Check the SMF30PF1 byte in the performance section.
Hope this helps.

The statistics provide what I want, but some jobs appears four time in the list; all the four rows are identical to one another. Any clue as to why, or how to obtain one entry only per job ? TIA.
