(ie using data queues and/or updating a database with this so managers can track length of signon for key "Super Profiles") John Marks - Lance, Inc. jmarks@lance.com John, You can use job accounting to get the information you want. If job accounting is active, a journal entry is written at the completion of each job which gives user id, date/time started, and date/time ended along with a bunch of other info. Job accounting is an all or nothing operation. You can account for ALL jobs, ALL reports, or both. It is pretty easy to dump the journal entries to an outfile (via DSPJRN) and then use a query to massage the information. Check out the Work Management manual for more info or feel free to ask questions here. Have fun! Richard

Real time tracking of profile signons
John, Activate system value QACGLVL (Job Accounting Level) at least for Jobs. You will need to allocate a Job Accounting Journal and Receiver to capture the info. The Work Management manual (or it used to) has a chapter on the format of the Journal after conversion, how to convert it, how to use the data. Queries can handle the reporting for the most part, or you can write your own application. This is what we did in the early AS/400 days. Now we run ROBOT/CPA.Regards.

Real time tracking of profile signons
Just interactive use, or all jobs on the system? To get a real timetracking you could use routing programs or alerts. In the latter case making the 'job started' and 'job ended' alert enabled could notify a watch/logging pgm. Regards, Chuck Comments provided "as is" with no warranties of any kind whatsoever. Comment

Real time tracking of profile signons
John, If you are on V4R2 or later and you need wall clock time rather than CPU time, then you may want to look at the Job Notification Exit Point in the Work Management chapter of the System API Reference. This allows you to specify a *DTAQ to receive notification messages of job starts, job ends, and placing of jobs on a job queue. You could via this *DTAQ monitor, and track, all jobs on the system; or just jobs related to specific subsystems. The Exit Point is not sensitive to user profile names (you'll get them all) but you could of course apply a filter within your receiving program. BruceComment
