Phil Wills Junior Member Registered: 01/24/07 Posts: 3 Loc: Devon, England, UK	Simple question and I'm sure there's a very simple answer somewhere out there ... In the same way one can set a job information variable using VBScript, is there a similar way to do it using PERL? i.e. I need the PERL equivalent of the VBScript statement "Watch.setJobInfo 9, variableName". Thanks, Phil.

Phil Wills Junior Member Registered: 01/24/07 Posts: 3 Loc: Devon, England, UK	Thanks LAPD. I am familiar with the "$Watch->..." notation but nothing is documented anywhere regarding specific usage of it. The link you've supplied contains similar examples of the syntax but not what I'm looking for. I need the exact syntax to set a job information variable, i.e., is it something along the lines of "$Watch->SetJobInfo(9, variableName)"? Thanks again, Phil.

OL Expert Registered: 09/06/00 Posts: 1984 Loc: Objectif Lune, Montreal, Qc	Phil, The exact syntax for ActivePERL is Code: $Watch->SetJobInfo(9, "This is my new value") Let's say you wanted to store in JobInfo 9 a value that is currently stored in JobInfo 8, you'd then use the following syntax: Code: $Watch->SetJobInfo(9, $Watch->GetJobInfo(8)) I hope this helps. _________________________ Technical Product Manager I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying - Woody Allen
