JOB

1984 Version of ANSI Standard

JOB command

See Job for formal definition.

  1. Result Right Arrow A,
    Null string ("") Right Arrow B.
  2. Result Right Arrow B.
  3. Attempt to initiate another MUMPS process. If B contains any job parameters, use them as specified by the implementation to initialize characteristics of the new MUMPS process. Initiate a distinct MUMPS process from this one, load the routine named in A (or the current routine if A does not contain a routine name) into that process, and position Window to the first character of the entry reference named in A. This operation suspends execution until it succeeds.
  4. Set up a timer of Timeout seconds. Attempt to initiate another MUMPS process, as described in action 3, at least once, and then repeatedly until it succeeds, or until the timer expires, whichever occurs first. (The meaning of success is defined by the implementation.)
  5. False Right Arrow Ifswitch ($TEST).
  6. True Right Arrow Ifswitch ($TEST).
