## zowe › ejes › query › activity

Select a table of all the jobs in all active address spaces for the JESplex or sysplex.

Use Primary Selection options to modify which rows are included in a table (for example, --jobname sys* includes only jobs starting with "sys"). Use General Use options to narrow your selected rows further. Use --table to drill down to a child table and --report to output the contents of a spool data set, a MVS data set, or report instead of the table. Use --command to issue commands against the rows included in the table.
