Example of Calling Program:
DCL VAR(&SYSJOB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) +
VALUE('SAVACT')
DCL VAR(&ACTFLG) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('N')
CALL PGM(CHKACTJOB) PARM(&SYSJOB &ACTFLG)
IF COND(&ACTFLG *EQ 'N') THEN(CALL PGM(SOMEPGM))
I tried to check for an active job, the routine runs without errors but its response is untrue, the job I'm sure it's active is detected ad 'not active (N);
any suggestion ?
thanks
