Hello,

I tried this ...

Build your logfile, with enough records to hold your log data ...

!JOB IPJOB,JOBS.HCUPDATE
!FILE MIKEYBOY.USERDEV,OLD;ACC=APPEND
!ECHO TEST LINE 1 >* MIKEYBOY.USERDEV
!ECHO ![HPJOBNUM] >*MIKEYBOY.USERDEV
!ECHO ![HPDATEF] >* MIKEYBOY.USERDEV
!ECHO ![HPTIMEF] >* MIKEYBOY.USERDEV
!EOJ

And it seems to work fine ...

Best regards.
