  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Job Scheduler getJobDetails API is  *
  *                      not returning all documented            *
  *                      information                             *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The getJobDetails JobScheduler API should return a String with
  nine detail fields for the specified job: Last update time, Job
  ID, Status text, Job Type, Submitter, Node, Server, Start Time,
  and Request ID.  However, the final two (Start Time and Request
  ID) are not currently in the String that is returned.
  

Problem conclusion

• A code update has been made to properly return all documented
  fields with the getJobDetails API.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.22 and 9.0.5.12. For more information, see 'Recommended
