RE: Pause technique

You didn't ask about restarting, just how to pause the job stream.

I assume that if your check fails you cancel the current job stream and
restart at the appropriate place.

As a side note, I absolutely abhor this kind of processing.  It seems to
me that by processing this way, failure is an expected and acceptable
occurrence.  IMHO, that's an indicator of something seriously wrong with
the design and implementation of a system.

Hi, Charles:

Inquiry and reply works fine as long as the verification 
process does not 
discover errors. If that happens, though, it may be necessary 
to rerun 
only a part of the original program, or "restart" it -- but 
at a different 
point than where the inquiry message was generated. Either 
way it can get 
really messy. Don't ask me how I know, I just do [grin].

Why not just throw an inquiry message that accepts a reply?
