The Question is:
How do I determine from within a DCL command procedure if a specific job in
already in a queue?
I want to submit a job to the queue, only if it is not already there.
I have the job name in a variable.
I am aware of the function of the SHOW ENTRY command. I was hoping to not have
to use the /OUTPUT option on the SHOW ENTRY [jobname] command and then read
the file. I would prefer some kind of logical test or status return from a
function to tell if the
job is already in the queue.
Here is my sample code to submit my job:
$! CALL EXAMPLE:
$!
$! @FF_COM:SUBMIT_SENDALLTOHOST BRS MW_RETRY:
$!
$ SET NOON
$!
$ PROCESSNAME = "SEND_" + P1 + "_" + F$EXTRACT(0,F$LOCATE(":",P2),P2)
$ LOGFILENAME = "FF_OUTPUT:" + PROCESSNAME + ".LOG"
$!
$ SUBMIT -
/PARAMETERS=('P1,'P2) -
/LOG='LOGFILENAME' -
/AFTER="+00:01" -
/WSDEFAULT=4096 -
/WSQUOTA=8192 -
/WSEXTENT=16384 -
/NOPRINTER -
/NAME='PROCESSNAME' -
FF_COM:SENDALLTOHOST.COM
$!
$ EXIT
