JOB

The Job (JOB) context contains system fields that supply execution time information about the job that executes the HLL program implementing a function. You cannot add additional fields to the JOB context. You would use this context primarily to define system data to a particular field, such as job date, user name, or job execution start time.

You can only use JOB context fields for input to other functions. They cannot be changed.

The fields that appear in the JOB context are provided in a shipped file called *Job Data.
