Creating and editing a job list

A job list is a list of jobs that run automatically, one at a time, when you click Start. When you would normally see the "No more forms" message, FORMS proceeds instead to the next job in line, until all the jobs are finished.

Creating or editing a job list

1. Using Interpret, Verify or Transfer, select File ð Job lists. The Job lists dialog is displayed.

   To open an existing job list, click Open in the Job lists dialog. Select a job list in the resulting dialog and click Open.

2. The available job descriptions are displayed in a list to the left, and the selected ones in a list to the right. Select an available job description by clicking its name. Then:

   • Click Add to insert a selected job description in the job list.

     Warning: Do not include a job description with the Wait for more forms option selected.

   • Click Select all to add all available job descriptions.

   • Delete a job description from the job list by selecting a name from the right-hand list (by clicking its name) and clicking Delete.

   • Clear deletes all the job descriptions included in a job list so that you can start over.

3. Optional: Select Repeat if you want FORMS to cycle through the job list repeatedly until you pause or stop the job.

Saving and using job lists

A job list becomes active when you open it and click OK.

After editing a job list, click Save or Save as to save changes to the job list. Then click OK to close the Job lists dialog. Click the Start button to start running the jobs in the job list.

You can use a new job list without saving it. Click OK to close the Job lists dialog and click No when prompted to save changes. Click the Start button to start running the jobs in the job list. Changes to the job list are lost when you exit the program.

To run a single job instead of all the jobs in an active job list, simply open a job description and start it.

Note for the programmer

When job descriptions are customized using VBA code: If any of the job descriptions in the list include the SetNextJobFile method, SetNextJobFile is overridden and has no effect. The JobNoMoreForms event is only fired when the last job is finished (unless Repeat is selected, in which case it is never fired).
