Display Job and Session Status With SHOWJOB
In the SHOWJOB output, sessions are identified by numbers with the prefix
#S. Jobs are identified by numbers with the prefix #J. Session and job
numbers range from 1 to 16,383.
The SHOWJOB command reports status information in three different ways,
depending on the parameters used:
* Session or job information for a specific session or job includes job
number, state, input priority, input device, output device number or
class, time introduced, and job name.
* Status parameter information includes summary information about all
the number of jobs and sessions in each status, the jobfence, and
limits.
* Session or job information for several sessions or jobs includes the
job number, state, input priority, input device, output device, time
introduced, job name, and a summary of the number of jobs and
sessions in each status, the jobfence (which specifies job priority),
and limit (which specifies the maximum number of jobs that can run
concurrently).
SHOWJOB, entered without parameters, displays all information for all
logged on jobs. For example:
SHOWJOB
The system responds:
________________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| JOBNUM STATE IPRI JIN JLIST INTRODUCED JOB NAME |

Limiting the Number Of Jobs and Sessions
When initially, configuring the system, a system supervisor can set a
limit to the number of jobs and sessions that can run at any time.
Limiting the number of jobs and sessions helps you keep track of user
activity, because less activity is easier to monitor. A system manager,
system supervisor, or system operator can change the job or session limit
to any number less than the configured maximum at any time.
LIMIT Syntax
[{numberjobs }]
LIMIT [{,numbersessions }]
[{numberjobs,numbersessions}]
Table 3-4 describes LIMIT parameters.
Table 3-4. LIMIT Parameters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Description |

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| numberjobs | The maximum number of jobs. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| ,numbersessions | The maximum number of sessions. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To change the job or session limit, use the LIMIT command. For example,
to change the job limit to 5, enter:
LIMIT 5
To change the session limit to 15, enter

To change the job limit to 10 and the session limit to 25 at the same
time, enter:
