I am used to INPUTting something like lstemp2 to a var, then parsing out the
var to the var I need.
:listspf !hplastspid;detail > lstemp1
:print lstemp1;start=6;end=6 > lstemp2
:input myjobname < lstemp2
:setvar myjobname word('!myjobname')
:showvar myjobname
or even combining the setvar and input by using the input function.

Is there any reason to prefer one approach over the other? Of course, I had
hoped there was some even simpler way to do this. But what I need it for is
ONABORT in MasterOp, and by the time I know the job has aborted, it's too
late for JINFO.
