At a high level, yes. Be aware sometimes you need a job parameter depending on where you are using it. And there is a macro to get the current Invocation Id in job.

Be aware it does a substring match. So if you are looking for 'ABC' in a list that includes 'ABCD' it will report a match / hit.

Check out the Locate function for an exact match.

Only if the job is a Multi-Instance job. We do something like this and pass the table name as the Invocation ID.

A) The 'Job Control' tab on the job's Property page.

I never could find an answer as to exactly why this happens, but will be the first to admit I didn't really look all that hard. :wink:

I've started including a note in the email to tell them to ignore any goofy attachment that may come along for the ride.

From what I understand, that is basically what they use. (UVUTF8?) Ray has posted on this subject several time, a search for all terms with 'hashed utf8' turned most up, including this one:

Yes, that is exactly the same thing we do here. Works fine. 7.5.1A on HP-UX.

Given that a 'core' *is* a CPU, yes - everything will be counted as you've postulated. And a quad core processor has four CPUs on a single chip / die.

For me, the jobs all had something in common but I don't remember the gory details... any chance of that here? Anything in common amongst the jobs that generate the er...
