Hi,
Can you be bit more specific on what you need.
You can attache the job using job handler though DSAttachJob().

DSJ.ME gives me the current job handle but i want the previous job handle

Hi,
Just store assign it to a variable
JHandler1 = DSAttachJob("Job1", DSJ.ERRFATAL)
JHandler2 = DSAttachJob("Job2", DSJ.ERRFATAL)
Use each variable to get the each job handler.

More than likely, there wouldn't be a 'previous' job handle to connect to. As noted, you should be able to use the other job name in the call to DSAttachJob to establish a new handle to it for your use.

Of course, this all depends on exactly what you are planning on using this for and when/where you do this but that should get you started.

You can establish the name of the job controller (the job sequence that is controlling this one) and attach to that, but why would you want to? Anything you can do with that job handle you could do in the parent job sequence itself.
