If you have MPEX, try:

!RUN MAIN.PUB.VESOFT,MPEX;PARM=1;INFO=&
!    'SETVAR jobname JSCOUNT ("!HPJOBNAME,!HPUSER.!HPACCOUNT")'
!IF jobname > 1 THEN
!    TELL !HPSTREAMEDBY;&
!          !HPJOBNAME IS ALREADY RUNNING. THIS JOB WILL END.
!    TELLOP  !HPJOBNAME IS ALREADY RUNNING. THIS JOB WILL END.
!    EOJ
!ENDIF

In this instance, we use EOJ because we do not want this to be considered
an error. We could have used ESCAPE to cause the job to abend and not just
terminate.

Subject:  [HP3000-L] Jobs


Hello All,

Does anyone have a really quick way of keeping a particular Job from
running
multiple instances. I have a Job that is overlapping itself occasionally
and
I'd rather have it not launch if one is already running.
