System symbols are also allowed in "started jobs" which are similar to "started tasks."

This has come up many times! Started Tasks are guaranteed to run on the same system they are submitted on. The problem, in simple terms, is which set of system symbols do you use? The submitting system? The converting system? The executing system? Add in NJE, and it becomes even more complex! - -teD O-KAY! BLUE! JAYS! Let's PLAY!
