    RFE's 31213, 30079 and 30077 should be implemented as a group. A third field should be displayed when listing jobs in a JES filter. This new field would be based on the job status (input, active or held/output). The queue number should be displayed for input jobs, the current step name should be displayed for active jobs and the return code/return info should be displayed for held/output jobs.

    job name : job number : queue
    job name : job number : step name
    job name : job number : return code / return info
