capture -jobinfo result in windows batch

[Juls]

Hi,
I created a batch file in windows that runs a DS job. I want to check the status of the job and then decide whether a reset is needed. I am having trouble capturing and reusing the result of the status in a variable. Here is my code:

REM GET status info
%DSJOBPATH%\dsjob -jobinfo %PROJECT% %DSJOB%

how do I capture and reuse the result of above in an if statement.
This line DOES NOT WORK:
JOB_STATUS=%DSJOBPATH%\dsjob -jobinfo %PROJECT% %DSJOB%

Thanks,
Juls.

Redirect the output to a file, then check the file.

Redirect the output to a file, then check the file. ...

Thanks, do you, by chance, have a sample how to check the file, how do I parse it?
Here is what the file has:
Job Status : RUN OK (1)

Job Controller : not available

Job Start Time : Tue Apr 15 11:24:43 2008
Job Wave Number : 7

User Status : not available

Job Control : 0

Interim Status : NOT RUNNING (99)

Invocation ID : not available

Last Run Time : Tue Apr 15 11:25:08 2008
Job Process ID : 0

Invocation List : seq_STAGING

For UNIX, sure. Under Windows? Nope, sorry, my DOS days are well and truly behind me.

What exact information are you looking for? Just to know if the job is aborted? I use grep for that in a shell script, something like this:

Code: Select all

eCount=`grep '(3)' /tmp/dsjob$$.out |wc -l`
if [ $eCount -eq 1 ] ;then
  echo "Job is aborted and must be reset..."
  <run reset>

I just have no clue how to do this in a batch without the MKS Toolkit, if you have that available you can do shell scripting rather than a batch file, from what I understand.
