Unfortunately there are a significant number of programs that parse the output of the :SHOWJOB command (it is one of the first commands that supported redirection of its output to a file, long before the MPE/iX CIOR features), so you can't really get away with changing the default :SHOWJOB output format. The right way to do this is to make it an option as HP suggests, and change your 'J' (or whatever) udc to include this parameter. G.
