You must set the AAOPRMxx option IMFJNUM=V to support job numbers greater than 99,999. The default is IMFJNUM=V. The new setting will be effective after the next warm start of the BBI-PAS. New customers should specify the AAOPRMxx option IMFJNUM=V immediately.

When the IMFJNUM option is not specified or is set to 5, the following statements are true:

• The variable IMFJNUM, which is available to both Rules and Rule-Initiated EXECs, is a fixed length five-digit field. The possible values are 1 to 99,999.
• IMFJNUM is set to null for events where the JES job number is greater than 99,999.
• A highlighted warning WTO (AU6020W) message is issued the first time MainView AutoOPERATOR detects a seven-digit mode job number that is between 1 and 99,999. This WTO message warns you that the seven-digit job number is incompatible with MainView AutoOPERATOR.
• A highlighted error WTO (AU6021E) message is issued the first time MainView AutoOPERATOR detects a job number greater than 99,999.

When the IMFJNUM option is set to V, the following statements are true:

• The variable IMFJNUM, which is available to both Rules and Rule-Initiated EXECs, is a variable length field without leading zeros.
• IMFJNUM=V supports all versions of JES.
• IMFJNUM=V supports both five-digit and seven-digit numbers.
