Is there a way to find long running jobs in the MVS - There can be chances for the developers to submit jobs and forget it without purging. Due to this sometimes jobs are running for 2-3 days incurring 1000's of $$$ cost... People unknowingly coding the TIME=NOLIMIT parm to the jobcards.

Thanks, OGV.

Yes, its possible with CA7. Here is how :
Use procedure UCC7BTI.

//STEP030 EXEC UCC7BTI
//BTERM.SYSPRINT DD DSN=XXXXXX.YYYYY.ZZZZZ,DISP=QQQ
//BTERM.SYSIN DD *
LPRRN,JOB=********

This is a CA7 batch command. So you can all the online commands that you use, in SYSIN.

All the best.

Aproova: The proc your have shown will only give the jobs which are completed. I guess Ogv wants to find out the long running jobs while they are running.

Ogv:usually sites are set up with ACF2 so that jobs are categorized with a max time.At our site we have a default run time of 30 minutes for tid jobs in production and 12 hours in the test region. After that jobs are cancelled automatically.

A simple way to find out long running jobs is as follows:

Go to SDSF

choose option DA

Type in
