Re: How to programmatically submit a job and know its job number

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure how much later "later' is - the exit might still be your ticket 
- the data queue entry would have the job name and all, and you could 
put all that on some file, to check later if you want to cancel it while 
it's still on the job queue.

I'm sure i'm missing something here - it still doesn't grok!
