IIRC at some point in the not too distant past it became possible to
configure JESx to assign Job IDs of the form Jnnnnnnn rather than the
traditional JOBnnnnn. Where would I find a more formal description of that
capability than what I just wrote? For JES2? For JES3?
For eons, JES3 allowed six digit job numbers i.e., 'J0' followed by a
number 1-999999. The range is specified via the JOBNO= parameter on the
OPTIONS statement in the init deck. Several years back (can't remember
the exact release), JES2 was enhanced to support the identical job
number range (specified via the RANGE= keyword on the JOBDEF statement).
During that same time period JES3 also supported 999999 jobs on SPOOL.
As part of its initiative to make JES2 more palatable to JES3 customers,
IBM raised the JES2 number of jobs on SPOOL specified via the JOBNUM=
keyword of the JOBDEF statement, from 400000 to be one higher than JES3
(1000000) starting with z/OS 2.2 JES2.
