Using parameters on job-related commands

The JOBQ and JOBMASK parameters can help you to limit the amount of processing needed to control batch jobs, STCs and TSUs. You can specify these parameters on the job-related commands listed below.

Use the JOBQ parameter to control all batch jobs, STCs, and TSUs. Use the JOBMASK parameter to select, or filter, a subset of jobs whose job name matches this combination of characters (mask). The JOBMASK parameter can include wildcard characters.

For example, to display all batch jobs, STCs, and TSUs whose name begins with the characters IBM®, enter the command:

     $D JOBQ, JOBMASK=IBM*

The command produces a display of jobs meeting the JOBMASK criteria anywhere in the MAS.
