Annotation Jobs

Post by Amuktamalyada »

Hi,
We have few jobs which only have the annotation stage which have some text related to the job modifications.There is nothing apart from the annotation stage.Would these kind of jobs be of any purpose.

Thanks,
Mukta

A job with just an annotation and nothing else will not compile. What is usually the case when you see nothing on the canvas is that the actual work of the job is done in the Job Control section; often this is seen in older jobs that pre-date sequences. Look at your job control and you will probably be surprised at how much BASIC code you will find.

If it is well designed, the annotation should give you the full detial of the job.
Impossible doesn't mean 'it is not possible' actually means... 'NOBODY HAS DONE IT SO FAR'
