And the winner is... Pat Shugart's example below
Thanks, Pat !!!




Subject: Re: FW: Need Intrinsic to say if a job is running or not

Carol,

You don't need the job number. Here's another example that I use in a
jobstream:

!SETVAR _job_nbr JOBCNT('@J:MEDI@,MGR.AIH',_job_list)
!IF _job_nbr <> 0
!  #
!  echo EDI jobs are still running!
!  echo job nbrs = !_job_list
!  showjob job=@j
!  #
!  SETJCW JCW FATAL
!ELSE
!  echo MEDIxxxx jobs ran successfully. Go Spartans!
!ENDIF

This one looks for any jobs with a "MEDI" prefix and returns the job
number(s) to the _job_list variable. I use this particular example to make
sure certain jobs are not running before streaming off some other jobs. It's
a fallback in case Maestro messes up (which is happening quite a bit in our
Amisys upgrade testing!).

Hope this helps better than the first example.
