This is better way to write JOBSTATUS

sub JOBSTATUS {
    my %foo = (
     1 => "RUNNING",
     3 => "STARTING",
     4 => "SUCCESS",
     5 => "FAILURE",
     6 => "TERMINATED",
     7 => "ON_ICE",
     8 => "INACTIVE",
     9 => "ACTIVATED",
     10 => "RESTART",
     11 => "ON_HOLD",
     12 => "QUE_WAIT", 
    );

   return $foo{ $_[0] };
}

While you're changing EVENTSTCODE , see reasons to avoid $jstatus1,$jstatus2....

• Why it's stupid to `use a variable as a variable name` - part 1
• Why it's stupid to `use a variable as a variable name` - part 2
• Why it's stupid to `use a variable as a variable name` - part 3

All your programs should start with Use strict warnings and diagnostics or die ( Alternate title: Read this if you want to cut your development time in half! )
