This parameter can optionally be used to supply a list of names of external jobs to be tracked by UAG.  External jobs are jobs which are not submitted by UAG. These jobs can then be referenced by External Job Monitors.

The values will be a list of triplets, contained within parentheses, specifying a job name mask, a user ID mask and the number of generations of a job to track.

The job names and user IDs can contain the wild card characters '*' (one or more characters) and '?' (Any character).

The number of generations is an integer between 1 and 100. If omitted, the default is 1.

If zos_ext_job is coded multiple times, the values coded will be added to the end of the list of previously specified values.

When zos_ext_job is specified, HISTORY_DATASET must also be specified.
