858.0. "Finding print job entry numbers" by SUBURB::BROWNSTONE (Out to lunch) Fri Jun 12 1992 15:52

    I'm trying to figure out a method of getting the entry number of a
    print job that I just submitted from a script (for that same script to
    use to manipulate the job).
    
    Any 'simple' pointers ?
    
    Thanks

    How did you submit the print job?
    
    If you are using SEND_JBC then there's a qualifier called 
    /ENTRY_NUMBER_OUTPUT=#symbol then the symbol will get set to the entry
    number.

    Therefore on a SEND_JBC command with either a CREATE_JOB or ENTER_FILE
    function add the qualifer /ENTRY_NUMBER_OUTPUT=#SYMBOL and #SYMBOL will be
    set with the entry number of the created job.
    
    (Note there's also a qualifier /ENTRY_NUMBER, which is *NOT* what you
    want!)

    There's a similar output symbol if you were using the DCL $SUBMIT or $QUEUE
    commands (which of course you aren't!!)

            so it's his answer really!)

    FYI,
    
�   There's a similar symbol if you were using DCL (which of course you

    Local symbol $ENTRY.
