I dont want to lose that data. Well, the first step would to not allow the job to be canceled. One would think that automation products would be able to do that. And instructions to the operator.

What about if the job abends from its own failures? This sounds like what checkpoint/restart was made for. -- Binyamin Dissen <bdis...@dissensoftware.com> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
