There are several products that allow you to imbed a parameter into a job that is resolved at the time it is streamed. STREAMX, which is part of Security/3000 from VESoft is one example. The streaming programs with Maestro and Express also have this capability. I believe there may be such a program in the CSL. With any of these solutions, the streaming job could pass the HPSTREAMEDBY as a parameter when streaming the subsequent job. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Mills [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 4:22 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Passing HPSTREAMEDBY from one job to another. Hi everyone, We have a command file, called jobtell, that uses MPEX's %WARNF command to display a message over the function keys of the session who :STREAMed it (extracts the session number from the HPSTREAMEDBY variable). It works and the users love it. Hurrah!!!!!!!! I now have to get a job :STREAMed by another job to send a message to the session that started it all (hope that this makes sense to you). This means that I have to somehow pass the first jobs HPSTREAMEDBY to all subsequent jobs. Apart from getting the first job to build the second job (echo commands to a temporary file) and then :STREAM it I can see no other solution at the moment. Any ideas? regards, +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |Robert W.Mills (Systems Development Manager) | |Windsong Services, St. Mary Cray, ENGLAND | |Tel : +44 (0)1689 870622 x3005 | |Fax : +44 (0)1689 899026 | |Email: [log in to unmask] | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html * * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
