Assignment of batch/print job entry numbers?

» close window

The Question is:

 
How can we get batch/print job entry numbers over 999?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The job entry number is a text representation of an opaque longword
  value, and the algorithm used to determine the value is undocumented
  and subject to change.
 
  Job entry numbers of six digits or more are not unusual.  Under the
  current algorithm, multiple queue managers or having many jobs active
  at a time can trigger the use of longer (opaque) job entry values.
