Comments
This script function checks whether or not the specified job is in a status with a system return code below 1699 or equals the return code 1701. If none of the two parameters has been specified, the function checks the object in which it is used.
The check is made when the script line which contains this function is processed. A negative result does not provide the information whether or not the object will be activated later. Thus, this function cannot be used to synchronize processes. The information it supplies about object states is only valid for a limited period of time.
Example
In the example, it is tested if a job is currently active and the result is passed to a script variable.
:SET &ACTIVE# = SYS_STATE_JOB_ACTIVE(MM.END.PROCESSING)
