Programmer Release Notes

2.1 $ENTRY is now the JAMS Entry

In previous version of JAMS, the DCL symbol $ENTRY would be set to the OpenVMS queue entry number of a newly submitted job. In V4.0, the $ENTRY symbol is set to the JAMS entry number which is not the same as an OpenVMS queue entry number. With JAMS V4.0, a job isn't required to execute in a batch queue so it may never have an OpenVMS queue entry number.

If you use the $ENTRY symbol in your command procedures you may need to update these procedures. If you are using the $ENTRY symbol with the JAMS /DEPENDENCY= qualifier then no changes are necessary because the /DEPENDENCY qualifier no accepts JAMS entries.
