Hi Phoebus,
I saw a few Pandora cases at a recent show in the UK for sale VERY CHEAPLY
(ie. a fraction of their original cost) and I think they were being sold
off. I think it was John Gilpin of the Manchester user Group that had
them, does this make sense to everyone? Maybe I'm getting my
I'm still updating my QDOS Internals site, and I've come across a small
foible in MT_RJOB - the trap #1 to remove a job which is inactive.
The job id passed can be -1 for the current job, but, as the trap will
return ERR_NC (not complete) if the job to be removed is still active, how
on earth

No mention of -1 in my QDOS/SMS Reference Manual.

Hi Marcel,
I've got Pennell's Qdos Companion and Dickens - Advanced User Guide.
My QDOS refernec from Jochen is at home, so I haven't checked that out.
Both of the above books are based on the QDOS documentation (1.03 ?) from TT
(a long time ago) and both mention -1 as being valid.
Mind you, I
... In other words, I think the ability to supply -1 as the job
id to this trap is a bit silly :o)
Probably listed for completeness as the -1 argument value is accepted
by the trap and therefore technically valid, even though its use is
illogical in that context.
On the subject of removing
Ian,
can't remember offhand, but doesn't RJOB require a name, or id plus an error
code ?
As in :
RJOB 123,-3
or
RJOB 'duff_job',-3
Regards,
Norman.

Hmm, I didn't know RJOB took two parameters - not seen in my manual,
which might be a little out-of-date. I'll give that a try.
I can type, e.g. RJOB 'duff_job' and that will work, so maybe the error
code parameter is optional.

That's not ALWAYS the case. I haven't fully investigated but I've
noticed that
whenever a job has a long or not standard name it cannot be
removed by rjob
using it's job no. (eg. ProWesS, QD). Others (eg QPAC jobs say
Files) can be
removed.
Well, looks like I have another little

From my old memory, in basic,
rjob can take three arguments, all integers:
rjob int1, int2, error
where int1 and int2 come from the jobs

On the subject of removing jobs, from SBASIC the RJOB command seems
only to accept the name of a job, not its number (which to me would
seem more useful). What if I have more than one job with the same
name? RJOB removes the first listed.
RJOB JobID, JobTag,
RJOB JobID, JobTag, ErrorCode.
So, ErrorCode is returned to the parent job as the 'reason' for the
death of the child I just RJOB'ed (I'm guessing).
Why do jobs have both an ID and a Tag? (Probably an RTFM question but
too impatient to wait until I get home! :)

Hi all, again !
I've uploaded todays lunchtime efforts to
http://www.bountiful.demon.co.uk/qdos/index.html.
Changes today :
The whole site is once more co-ordinated and using a CSS file to define
colours, styles etc.
More of TRAP #1 routines have been added.
Much tidying up - by using the CSS,
