No. The first signals its exception which triggers the exception handler - control is now transferred to that stream of processing.

Don't think so - the entire DS_JOBOBJECTS record will never be just the table name. A LIKE operator appears to be called for. EVAL DS_JOBOBJECTS."if UPCASE(@RECORD) LIKE '%YOUR_TABLE_NAME%' then 'FOUND' else ''" AS FOUND FMT '5L' But this reinstates the situation to which devhni was object...

In version 7 View Data will not substitute for $PROJDEF - you need to replace $PROJDEF with an actual value (the DSN in this case).

OK, then maybe it's just a Windows thing. Not all shared memory operations are supported on Windows. You can see this when you check a configuration file - there's a warning about shared memory information "not being available on this platform". smat = "shared memory analysis tool&quo...

I don't reckon that's really a resolution. What was the cause? Sure zapping the registry entry forced the symptom to disappear; it would have been interesting to get before and after views of that registry entry.

Run each of the jobs independently and monitor their individual resource consumption. Do some arithmetic to determine how many of these can run at a time before maxing out any of the resources.

Create a "lookup table" of month names (Char(36) stage variable) and use Index() function to find the month name therein. Perform simple arithmetic to get the month number. Use string manipulation to re-format.
