Hi !

I need to run DSSetJobLimit in befor-job subroutine
but the job doesnt stop after 4warnings

Why ?

$INCLUDE DSINCLUDE JOBCONTROL.H

ErrCode = DSSetJobLimit (DSJ.ME, DSJ.LIMITWARN, 4)

Because it's too late then. It must be done as part of the process that runs the job, not by the job itself.

So How I can put the command Into job control of Job Sequence ?

Any way to do it without coding the job control mannually ?

A job cannot control itself in any way. Job Sequencer logic is not available for changing. You could cut and paste it into a Batch job, but then you lose the graphical maintenance.

That works, but from an un-attended execution you should really consider custom job control.

DSSetJobLimit (DSJ.ME, DSJ.LIMITWARN, 4)

But that's not during running the job, that's while making the request to run the job - that is, before the job is running.
