Status of DSGetJobInfo

We have a server job which just have jcl written in it. This job calls bunch of other parallel jobs and checks the status of the jobs.

It checks if the jobs status is runok or runwarn, if not job will abort. Issue we are having is the server job which calls other jobs aborts and says that the status is '4'.

Haven't seen job status 4 before. We recently got our servers upgraded to 11.3.1. Anything to do with this?

JobStatus(JobCount)=DSGetJobInfo(hJob(JobCount),DSJ.JOBSTATUS)
If (JobStatus(JobCount) <> DSJS.RUNOK and JobStatus(JobCount) <> DSJS.RUNWARN) Then
Rslt = GetLogMsg(LOGDIR,MyJobName(JobCount))
ErrorMsg = ExecutableName:'Job Failed when executing':MyJobName(JobCount)
Rslt = WriteErrorMsg(LOGDIR,DSJobName, ErrorMsg)
Call DSLogFatal("Job Failed: ":JobStatus(JobCount), "JobControl")
End Else
ErrCode = DSDetachJob(hJob(JobCount))
Call DSLogInfo(">>>>>>>":MyJobName(JobCount):"<<<<<Finished Successfully>>>>>":"<<<<<<<<*","JobControl")

log says

(fatal error from JobControl): Job Failed: job_name Status: 4

They're all listed in the various "header" and/or "include" files that ship with the product, perhaps even in the documentation somewhere. I don't recall seeing a "4" in the past but you could take a look at this post and see what your versions of the files noted in it look like on your system.

DSJS.RUNFAILED = 4 ; job aborted

That's a "3" actually, isn't it?

Quite a good memory you got there (yes, "3" is RUNFAILED).

"4" looks like a relatively new status related to the WLM feature, DSJS.QUEUED, meaning that the job queued waiting for resource allocation.

So, I suspect your routine needs to be modified to allow for QUEUED status. The job hasn't failed; it just hasn't been run yet.
