Logic to build a sequence

Hi,

I have a scenario where I have to run a job through sequence and the output of the job could be -1 0r 1.I need to abort my job if my job returns a value -1 and run it successfully if it returns 1.

Can some one provide some suggestions in building up a sequence as per above scenario.

Regards

Kumar

Let's start with the mechanism by which a job can "return" anything. How do you propose to have this happen?

There are several techniques, and the one you use will affect how that value might be detected in a sequence.

Over to you.

What is your job doing after outputting -1 or 1? If -1 or 1 is the output of your job, how can you abort that job when it is already finished?

As noted, it depends on how it is doing this "outputting"... you could do something "After Job" to force a conditional abort. Anything after that would be too late, so I don't really see how a Sequence plays into this unless perhaps rather than aborting you needed to send out an alert.
