In SDSF just go to the ST or DA screen and select the job - you will see the output generated so far which includes the start time

Not sure if this is what you wanted, but programmatically, if you're sitting on your TSO id and you want to be 'notified' when the job starts, try adding this step to the top of your job(s) :

Code:
//NOTIFY   EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01         
//SYSTSIN  DD *                     
 SE 'JOB STARTED' U(XXXXXX)
/*

(Where XXXXXX = Your TSO Id)

And what happens when user XXXXXX goes on vacation? You may end up filling up SYS1.BRODCAST which will overspill (SQA?) and could derail your system.

Errr, that would only happen if LOGON was specified.

I've had SYS1.BRODCAST fill up and it just stops accepting messages. Fairly harmless, except for disgruntled users!

If anyone has a long enough vacation to cause SYS1.BROADCAST to fill up, I want to work for their company ! Very Happy
