Goal

This note describes how you can get the JOB definition using dbms_job.

DBMS_JOB has been retained in later versions of Oracle mainly for backward compatibility. It is highly recommended to migrate from DBMS_JOB to DBMS_SCHEDULER which is more powerful and flexible.

To convert the jobs from DBMS_JOB to DBMS_SCHEDULER, the document  IF: An Example to Convert from DBMS_JOB Jobs to DBMS_SCHEDULER Jobs (Doc ID 2117140.1) may be used.
