Count the number of jobs in a jobq

Does anyone know of an API that I can use to monitor a jobq or several jobq's in order to count the number of jobs that pass through the jobq? In other words, I would like to know how many jobs were submitted to the jobq for a specific period of time...

The Job Notification Exit Point would enable the collection of that type of information. Basically you can receive a message on a *DTAQ when a job is put on a jobq (and if you want when the job actually starts and/or ends). The exit point is documented in the Information Center under Programming/APIs/APIs by category/Work Management and then Job Notification.
