 Job Scheduler affecting environment variable
CL Program, iSeries job scheduler, Job scheduling, QSH environment variable, SBMJOB
In CL program I am using QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT environment variable to direct output to STDOUT and then overriding this to database file. This is to capture logging from sftp server, accessed via batch script. When I run the CL program using SBMJOB from command line it outputs logging to DB file. When I call the CL program from the jobs scheduler, I get no output. Is there some parameter I should use when setting up the scheduled job to ensure the environment variables behave as expected.

Software/Hardware used:
iSeries QSH

Thanks everyone for replying. I discovered that I need to change the override scope to *JOB.for the OVRDBF command for STDOUT. Somehow the default override scope works fine for SMJOB, but not when the program is called by a scheduled job.

What does the job log show?

Just to make sure — The CL program contains the code that sets the environment variable, and this is the program that is submitted with SBMJOB and also submitted through the job scheduler. Correct?
