Include fully qualified Job (name) in JOBLOG_INFO Table function resultSet

The IBM Service named JOBLOG_INFO does not currently include the full-qualified job identity in the list of resultSet columns. Please add it and name that new column JOB.


Use Case:

When using JOBLOG_INFO in combination with other IBM Services, sometime the need is there to JOIN by the JOB (fully qualified 3-part job identification). However JOBLOG_INFO doesn't return that value.
Once simple example is if I want to review al the Requests messages for a set of Jobs via a UNION or other technique... the qualified job name doesn't appear, again without some monkey business.

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available with IBM i 7.5, and with DB PTF Groups IBM i 7.4 SF99704 Level 20 and IBM i 7.3 SF99703 Level 28.

    For JOBLOG_INFO, the input job name is returned in the new QUALIFIED_JOB_NAME result column.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.

    Sorry about the typos but you get it:
    >>3-party job identity.
    >>3-part job identity.
