Summary

The following are the RPG/LE fully free-form definitions and instructions needed for using the Job Not Active service procedure. This service procedure simply allows the caller to make sure that a particular job is not active on the system.

Service Prototype

Place the following in a separate copybook for inclusion in both the caller and the service program source members.

// Simply reverses the result of the 'Job Is Active' service procedure.

dcl-pr GenUtl_JobNotActive   ind;
  JobName                    char(10)  const;
  ListPtr                    pointer            options(*nopass:*omit);
  JobDesc                    likeds(QUSL010002) options(*nopass);

Service Procedure

Place the following in a service program source member.
