IBM Z Hardware and Operating Systems Ideas Portal
This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post your ideas
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Specific links you will want to bookmark for future use
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

First, and most basic, is to use the REQJOBID to specify the JESLOG attributes for all STCs that start under MSTR but then request a JOBID. Information on this can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=descriptions-reqjobid-specify-jeslog-characteristics
If doing this for all request jobid jobs is not what is wanted, then Netview could provide them an option to manage the job log either by supressing it or specify JESLOG values. This is controlled by options in the IEFSSRR request jobid SSOB extention. Netview can specify the fields they want in SSRRLOG. This should be located here but is currently missing https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=20-input-parameters I have sent a request for the books to be updated. The fields of interest are:
SSRRLOG DS XL5 JESLOG control information
ORG SSRRLOG
SSRRLFLG DS B Flags
SSRRELIG EQU B'10000000' Spin eligible (mutually
exclusive with SSRRNJBL
and SSRRNOSP)
SPACE 1
**************************************************************
* *
* SSRRTIMI, SSRRTIMD and SSRRLINE are mutually *
* exclusive. If SSRRELIG is on and none of the three *
* is on, that implies that an operator command can be *
* used to spin output, but there is no automatic *
* spinning. It is an error if any of the 3 bits are *
* on and SSRRELIG is off. *

SPACE 1
SSRRTIMI EQU B'01000000' Spin on time interval
SSRRTIMD EQU B'00100000' Spin on time of day
SSRRLINE EQU B'00010000' Spin upon line delta
SSRRNOSP EQU B'00001000' No Spin (mutually
exclusive with SSRRELIG
and SSRRNJBL)
* EQU B'00000111' Reserved for future use
and must be zero
SPACE 1
**************************************************************

* SSRRSVAL has one of the following values: *
* *
* o 0 if no bit on in SSRRLFLG or just SSRRELIG or *
* SSRRNOSP is on. *
* o Increment in minutes if SSRRTIMI on. *
* Increment must be 10 minutes or more. *
* o Number of minutes past midnight if SSRRTIMD on.*
* The range is 0 through 23:59 (23*60+59). *
* o Line delta if SSRRLINE on. *
* The range is 500 through 999 million. *

SSRRSVAL DS F Spin value
JES2 policies would also be a way to do this. The recent (z/OS 3.1) JOB create policy does affect request job id jobs but currently does not currently support modifying JESLOG.
