3.2.2 Daily Job Abends via Exit Cancels

The Daily Job Abends inquiry provides a frequency
distribution of the number of jobs that terminated abnormally
because of cancellation due to such factors as using too much
CPU time or printing more lines of output than are allowed by
the system.

INTENDED USE:

The report is used to investigate jobs that abend frequently.
Such jobs usually represent wasted resources, since they
typically have to be rerun.  Investigating these jobs may
result in more efficient JCL coding and thereby lower
resource waste.

REPORT FORMAT:

This inquiry produces a tabular report grouped by system
Identifier (SYSID) with the following columns described
below:

   Job                      The job name identified on the
                            job card

   JESJOBNO                 Job number assigned by the job
                            entry subsystems

   STARTTS                  Date and time when job is read
                            into the system

   TERMCODE                 Ending termination status of a
                            job

   JOBSERVU                 Total number TCB, SRB, I/O, and
                            MSO service units consumed
