Issue about Job Status code

[caola]

I got a weird issue on Job Status code in a sequence job.
In sequence report, job BC is run as "validate only". So if validating ok, it should return job status = 11, but it actually returns job status = 0(as I remember 0 means job running, but why here it shows as No error). So if I use BC.$JobStatus = 11 on the trigger, it doesn't go to invoke next job as I want.

Here's part of the log.
report..JobControl (DSWaitForJob): Job BC has finished, status = 11 (Validated OK)
report..JobControl (@BC): Job BC did not finish OK, status = 'No error'
report..JobControl (@BC): Report on job: BC

I don't know why you are seeing a zero rather than the 11, you may need to go to support on that. What exact release are you on?

Mostly just wanted to point out that you should never hard code status numbers anywhere, including trigger expressions. Use the appropriate status text in your expression like DSJS.RUNOK or in your case DSJS.VALOK instead.
