JOB_STATE_SUCCESS_WITH_EXCEPTION S = 3 The job has completed successfully with some exceptions.

JOB_STATE_DISPATCHED = 4 The job has been dispatched.

JOB_STATE_HOLD = 5 The job is on hold.

JOB_STATE_ERROR = 6 The job has completed with an error.

JOB_STATE_INVALID SCHEDULE = 7 The schedule for the task is invalid. The job will never run.

JOB_STATE_PENDING = 12 The job is in a transitional state.

JOB_STATE_RECOVERED = 13 During startup, Backup Exec detected that a job was active when the server was shut down, and that the Checkpoint restart option was not enabled for this
job. The job history log has been marked JOB_STATE_RECOVERED, and the job has been scheduled to restart immediately

I noticed this list was missing some entries so I was trying to find a way to get the other status codes...

What I ended up doing was setting up filters in the console, then going to:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Symantec_Corporation\BkupExec.exe_StrongName_(bunch of characters)\12.5.2213.140\user.xml

You'll have to go down till you find <Filter name=

For example:
                        <Filter name="Blocked by Template Rule" description="">
                            <Criteria>
                                <FilterCriteria name="SchJobStatus">
                                    <Values>
                                        <anyType xsi:type="xsd:int">25</anyType>
                                    </Values>
                                </FilterCriteria>
                            </Criteria>
                        </Filter>

As you can see, I selected Blocked by Template rule in my filter and named it such. The associated status code is 25 (from the <anyType> field for SchJobStatus)


Also, if anyone is using SSRS, here's my case statement in the query which makes processing these easier:
 'Status' =
 CASE
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 1 THEN 'Cancelled'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 2 THEN 'Completed'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 3 THEN 'Exception'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 4 THEN 'Dispatched'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 5 THEN 'On Hold'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 6 THEN 'Error'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 7 THEN 'Invalid Schedule'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 8 THEN 'Invalid Time Window'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 10 THEN 'Missed'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 11 THEN 'Paused'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 12 THEN 'Pending'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 13 THEN 'Recovered'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 14 THEN 'Resource Disabled'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 15 THEN 'Resumed'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 16 THEN 'Running'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 17 THEN 'Ready'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 18 THEN 'Scheduled'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 19 THEN 'Success'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 20 THEN 'Superceded'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 21 THEN 'Abort (Time)'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 22 THEN 'To Be Scheduled'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 23 THEN 'Linked to Another Job'
  WHEN CurrentStatus = 25 THEN 'Blocked by Template Rule'
  ELSE 'Unknown ' + Convert(varchar, CurrentStatus)
    END
