Variable 'DSAttachJob' not defined

I am upgrading from 5.x to 7.5. I exported a sequence job and compiled it. Got the following error:

Variable 'DSAttachJob' not defined

Any help will be really appreciated.

Welcome! This usually happens when you don't include JOBCONTROL.H in your custom routine. However, you are talking about Sequence jobs and I don't recall 5.x having Sequence jobs.

You might want to give more details about exactly what you are doing...

Welcome aboard! :D

DSAttachJob() is one of the functions generated when a job sequence (which were introduced in version 5.2 btw) is compiled. Somehow, it seems, you have a problem in the code that was migrated. DSAttachJob should not be migrated as a variable. Is there a space between the function name and its left parenthesis? Version 5.2 may have allowed this, but "they" have tightened up syntax checking since then.

Did you verify that this particular job sequence compiles correctly on the version 5.x system? If so, try exporting just the job sequence and trying again.

Thank you both for your prompt answer. I will check the code and try to export the job sequence again.

Thanks a lot!!!
