Hello.
First of all, I am not a programmer, so what I'm looking for is some sort of guidance with a project I have.
I know AS/400 from a user/administrative perspective but I have been asked to come up with a way to export the start and end times of jobs running in QBATCH subsystem to a flat file that then can be exported to a document such as a spreasheet. This is to reflect the times both start, end and the obtain the elapsed time for a series of jobs that run in a daily basis.
Since I have no prior programming experience on RPG or COBOL or the sort, I have no clue on how to do this (well, so maybe someone can start by recommending me to study programming in this environment but I would like to take that approach only if necessary)
I have tools such as the entire IBM ISeries Access for Windows kit (That comes with a green screen 5250 emulator and Windows Navigator interface) but cannot seem to find a way to do that here.
If I could only find a way to capture the start and end times of jobs (from job log) and export that information to a file, that's basically all I need.
Any one has any idea? Maybe someone can even refer me to a proper forum.
Thanks a lot for any help.....In advance.
Regards,
Oscar
