this code is from ibm this is a work around code to submit a jcl with a member that has a dollar sign in it($#JCLCAI)’ i’m trying to get the output the only output i can get is the stc jobid i need all the output JESMSGLG, JESJCL, JESYSMSG can you help. vars: vars: pdse\_member: ‘SYS2.DR.VERIFY.JCL($#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 ``` ok: [[smtsftp.dtcc.com](http://smtsftp.dtcc.com)] =\> { “result”: { “changed”: true, “cmd”: “jsub "SYS2.DR.VERIFY.JCL(\$#JCLCAI)"”, “delta”: “0:00:00.150194”, “end”: “2024-06-18 22:44:57.099868”, “failed”: false, “msg”: “”, “rc”: 0, “start”: “2024-06-18 22:44:56.949674”, “stderr”: “”, “stderr\_lines”: , “stdout”: “J0011857”, “stdout\_lines”: [ “J0011857” ] } } TASK [set job id variable for reuse.] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ok: [[smtsftp.dtcc.com](http://smtsftp.dtcc.com)] TASK [get the job output] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ok: [[smtsftp.dtcc.com](http://smtsftp.dtcc.com)] PLAY RECAP \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* [smtsftp.dtcc.com](http://smtsftp.dtcc.com) : ok=4 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 ---

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: ```auto - name: Result ansible.builtin.debug: var: result ``` The full playbook was: ```auto --- - 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 ```auto - 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 ```
