Use this function module to read the job header table (TBTCO, specifications such as the start time that apply globally to a job) and the job step table (TBTCSTEP, a record for each step in a job, including such information as the program to run, spool request generated, and so on).

You’ll need the job name and job number to read these tables.

What the function module returns is controlled by the import parameter JOB_READ_OPCODE. This parameter can take on the following values (defined in LBTCHDEF):

• BTC_READ_JOBHEAD_ONLY: Read only the job header data (TBTCO)
• BTC_READ_ALL_JOBDATA: Read all job data (TBTCO, TBTCSTEP).

There is currently no programming example for this function module.
