Q:
AS/400 Active Job Information
Is there a way for a program to determine if a particular job is active while knowing only the job name (job user and number are unknown) - there may be, in addition to the active job, if active, multiple completed jobs of the same name - and, if yes, be able to retrieve the job user and number of the active job?

What you need is API QUSLJOB. Format JOBL0100 is enough for what you want.
It will list all jobs for a specific name and you can filter *ACTIVE only.

Hi Wilson,
Thank you for the answer. I had actually looked at this API but read it wrong - I thought it required me to know the job name, user name and job number in advance. I've now taken a second, closer look and see that I can give *ALL for both user name and job number and since only one job (of the job name) should be active at any given time, I can then extract the active user name and job number.
Regards,
Zack
