Don't know if it's the same issue, but this happened to me and maybe could help you:

I had a SQLServer 2005 EE x64 with OLEDB driver (x64) for AS400:...

Looks very strange...

Can you post a sample of the overlapped job history records?

There's no built-in system stored procedure or any kind of object that displays sys.messages.

I think you will have to access it directly.

I've never seen two instances of a job running overlapped, but this doesn't mean it's impossibile.

What does msdb.dbo.sp_help_jobhistory return? Same results as SSMS?

Another way to get it in a single result set:

select top 0 *

into #files

from sysfiles

EXEC sp_msforeachdb 'insert into #files select * from ?.dbo.sysfiles'

select * from #files

drop table #files

sp_msForEachdb 'USE ?

EXEC sp_helpfile'

It's not exactly what you were asking, but it goes very close, I think.

Some think it's a massive waste of money that could be better spent on health, education and job creation (which are all massive problems).

Some think that there's going to...

Looks like I did not understand what you need.

This changes things a bit. Try this way:

SELECT ...

This should do the trick:

SELECT Department, Status, COUNT(*)

FROM (

SELECT A.ItemCode AS [Container ID],

Cust.company AS Account,

Dept.departmentname AS Department,

A.ref1 AS [Alternate ID],

A.fromdate AS [From Date],

A.todate AS [To Date],

A.ref2 AS [Sequence Begin],

A.ref3...
