Re: [Ql-Users] EXEP_W
Hi Michael, I haven't used FEP myself but It looks as if what you propose could work, although I don`t understand why you would need to check job priority, job owner, and job name to check if it is still running. Wouldn't NXJOB(id) which returns -1 if the job dosn't exist be sufficient and simpler?

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your suggestion, I did think of that idea. Also, I have found FEP(...) which returns the id of the job created. So, I'm guessing I could do something along these lines ... id = FEP(etc) REPeat wait SUSPEND_TASK 25 IF PJOB(id)=0 : IF OJOB(id)=0 : IF JOB$(id)="" : EXIT wait END REPeat wait I haven't tried this yet. Doing it this way, the task name would not need to be known. Michael ___ QL-Users Mailing List ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Is there such a command that does this? If not, then how can this be implemented? Any ideas please Michael ___ QL-Users Mailing List ___ QL-Users Mailing List
