Thats works great - I learned something, but I need something that will not
change Job behavior. I mean that if the fob should flush - let it flush...

Try including the following in the job stream after the job card

!SETVAR HPAUTOCONT TRUE

The job won't then flush if an error occurs.

Hello all.

I would like to know if there is a way to be informed when a Job starts or
ends NOT to the console but to another application (i.e. a way to ask the OS
to invoke something when the job starts or ends).

I currently use a command that I insert into the Job itselt at the beggining
and the end of the job file.
But - I have a problem when something in the job goes wrong and the Job is
Flushed - the last command is not invoked so that I dont get a notice.

Example:
!job jjj,us.ac
!jobmsg.bin.acc                      <-- send message through tcp/ip
!
! other commands

oops - ERROR - Job flushed
!
! other commands
!
!jobmsg.bin.acc                      <-- send message through tcp/ip actualy
!EOJ                                     not invoked


Is there a solution for this?
TIA for any idea.

Noam
