I have written several vbScript automation jobs and I'd like to be able to write informational type messages to the 24x7 Job log when they've completed.

If you look at the following code, I'm simply trying to run the JAL LogAddMessageEx command from vbScript. However, this code will hang 24x7 everytime and I have to stop and restart it. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or maybe a better way to go about it?

Note: The MsgBox command is simply to show the proper syntax of the LogAddMessageEx command before it is submitted to JAL.

Sub Main( )
Dim JalCommand

JalCommand ="LogAddMessageEx ""INFO"",0,""Job Status"",""Job Info"" " & vbCrLf
MsgBox JalCommand

JALScript.Execute(JalCommand)

End Sub

It should work fine when the job starts on schedule.

To make it work in "Run Now" mode set job to run "asynchronous" .
