10 JOB_NAME test 20 REPeat:PRINT 'Hello World'
10 JOB NAME launcher 20 EX 'test' 30 EW 'test'
When I
EX 'launcher'
in my SMSQ/E from SBASIC 0,0,0, then the 'test' job that was EXeced belongs to SBASIC 0,0,0 and the 'test' job that was EWed belongs to launcher.
It is the first time I use such features, and after 20 years of readings about QDOS, I had the impression that both 'test' jobs would have belonged to 'launcher'.
One (slight) drawback of that behavior is that I can not simply
RJOB 'launcher'
to get rid of the 3 jobs. I must also RJOB 'test'.
Today I have finished a chain/tree of 18 filters which work from 3 input files, create 3 temporary files and output 3 result files for my job in order to interpret data coming from a large but unflexible IBM AS-400 computer. Some of the jobs are EWed, some are EXeced from a launcher job, but the complete job tree does not belong to 'launcher'. I am surprised.
