i’m trying to get the output the only output i can get is the stc jobid
i need all the output JESMSGLG, JESJCL, JESYSMSG can you help.

vars:
vars:
pdse_member: ‘SYS2.DR.VERIFY.JCL($#JCLCAI)’

tasks:

- name: use ZOAU jsub to sumbit "{{pdse_member}}"
  ansible.builtin.shell: jsub "{{pdse_member}}"
  register: result

- name: result
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: result

- name: set job id variable for reuse.
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    job_id: "{{ result.stdout }}"

- name: get the job output  
  zos_job_output:
    job_id: "{{ job_id }}"
    register: result
    until: result.jobs[0].ret_code.msg_code
    retries: 5
    delay: 10

Hello @U6crgb0 - I supplied that work around you shared above. Your support case had a playbook attached zos_special_char_workaround_2.yml , in that playbook the very last debug statement is not shown in your example above that would have printed out the full job log assuming the job completed within the 5 retries with a 10 second delay. For reference I will also include the contents of that playbook here.

To see the full job output, append this to your playbook:

    - name: Result
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        var: result

The full playbook was:

---
- hosts: zvm
  collections:
    - ibm.ibm_zos_core
  gather_facts: false
  environment: "{{ environment_vars }}"
  vars:
    pdse_member: 'IMSTESTL.DIMATO.JCLCOPY(\$#JCLMEM)'

  tasks:
    - name: Use ZOAU jsub to submit "{{ pdse_member }}"
      ansible.builtin.shell: jsub "{{ pdse_member }}"
      register: result

    - name: Result
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        var: result

    - name: Set Job ID variable for reuse.
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        job_id: "{{ result.stdout }}"

    - name: Get the Job output
      zos_job_output:
        job_id: "{{ job_id }}"
      register: result
      until: result.jobs[0].ret_code.msg_code
      retries: 5
      delay: 10

    - name: Result
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        var: result

Hi , formatting with code tags makes easier to diagnose and sharing your playbook within source format tags as well.

Since I have not seen your playbook, I am assuming the error is that you have under indented keywords, review the example shared in the thread to see the proper alignment for the keywords below:

delay, register, retries,until

    - name: Get the Job output
      zos_job_output:
        job_id: "{{ job_id }}"
      register: result
      until: result.jobs[0].ret_code.msg_code
      retries: 5
      delay: 10
