Set Project to Compile before execute

You need to figure out exactly where things go wrong. Add breadcrumbs... calls to DSLogInfo() after every step and see where the trail ends.

sorry i posted my original before i fixed it

this is what i put in the job control and the project just started but wouldnt run

hJob1 = DSAttachJob("AuxTime",DSJ.ERRFATAL)
If NOT(hJob1) Then
Call DSLogFatal("Job Failed: AuxTime","Job")
Abort
End
ErrCode = DSRunJob(hJob1, DSJ.RUNNORMAL)
Status = DSGetJobInfo(hJob1, DSJ.JOBSTATUS)

this is the error i am getting
JobControl (fatal error from DSAttachJob): Job control fatal error (0)
(DSCloseJob) Cannot refer to own job handle

Your problem is right there in the error message, a job cannot attach to itself. If you really need to do that, skip the attach and use DSJ.ME as the job handle.

yeah but when i do that i get this warning
AuxTime..JobControl (DSPrepareJob): Cannot refer to own job handle

Of course. Why would you need to reset a running job? This is something one job would do for another, not for itself.

so basically there is no way to force a project to automatically recompile before running

I guess i will do reserch maybe i will have to run a dos command that compiles the job then run one that runs the job

No, we've been discussing the way to reset a job. However, that's what your job control should be doing before it runs the job as the job can't do it to itself.
