I'm trying to read the genlib/JOBSTEP table to get a parameter value to use in a custom lawson program and a shell script. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I use rngdbdump command... Set your lawson environment variables in your script or just include this line...
eval `/usr/bin/cvx -b lawprod`
Where lawprod is your Lawson enviornment name..
Then, to get the field names:
rngdbdump -ct gen jobstep | head -1
Then to extract the field, you don't need headers, so use the n switch
rngdbdump -cnt gen jobstep -f jobname description -v jobname=your_value
This will extract just the jobname and description fields from the jobstep table where jobname=your_value

Or better yet: Assign something to a variable like this:
myVar=$(rngdbdump -cnt gen queuedjob -f status -v jobname=${JOB}|grep "${DATE}")

Is there a way using rngdbdump to say I want the value in the PARAMS field starting in position 1034 for 15 positions?

Sure:
myVar=$(rngdbdump -cnt gen jobstep -f params | cut -c 1034-1048)

I should have had your jobname in the command somewhere...
myVar=$(rngdbdump -cnt gen jobstep -f params | grep YourJob | cut -c 1034-1048)
