5.2.2 Batch User Job Suspend File (BAT_JS)

The Batch User Job Suspend File (BAT_JS) contains data on
batch jobs that either have not terminated or have not yet
had their output purged from the system.  It is used in
conjunction with the BATJOB file to give a complete
accounting of job activity to date.

The file is derived from the type 30 record (subtypes 1, 2,
3, 4, and 5).  In addition, it uses the SMF Output Writer
Record (type 6).  JES3 sites also use the Device Allocation
Record (type 25).

NOTE:  The BAT_JS file is a composite of the BATJOB file, the
       BATSFH file, and a few additional elements.

The following sections describe the file's organization, list
the data elements maintained, and provide usage hints.
