@V"event" macro variable has null va

I have a job notification exit that uses macro variables successfully, but the @"event" variable has a null variable. As you can see from the logic, I ahve designed it to default the event type to 'OK'.
I always get a file type on the semaphore file of 'OK'.

Can you tell me what the problem is?

I have this notification exit running off a time-triggered job and another that is triggered by a semaphore file created by the first job.
@V"event" is null in every case.

The code is below.

//
// Comet Job Termination script

dim (sMsg, string)
dim (sFileName, string)
dim (sJobName, string)
dim (sEventName, string)
dim (iJobId, number)
dim (sSemaphoreDir, string)
dim (EventNamePresent, boolean)
dim (lEventNameLength, number)

set (iJobId, "@V"job_id"")
set (sJobName, "@V"job_name"")
set (sEventName, "@V"event"")

Length (sEventName, lEventNameLength)
NotEqual( lEventNameLength, 0, EventNamePresent )
IfThen( EventNamePresent, labEventNamePresent )

set (sEventName, "OK")

labEventNamePresent:

// Get semaphore directory name
CometSchedulerDirectory("sem", sSemaphoreDir)

// Create semaphore file name
ConcatEx( sSemaphoreDir, "/", sJobName, ".", sEventName, sFileName )
ConcatEx( "JobCompletion: ", sFileName, sMsg )

// Write to 24x7 log
LogAddMessageEx( "INFO", iJobId, sJobName, sMsg )

MessageBox( sMsg)

FileSave( sFileName, sMsg)

I did copy and paste of your script and it works fine for me.

Is it a script for the job notification action? Directly assigned to the notification script property, right?
I mean you don't have it in some other place (for example, as a function of the Script Library) and then call it from the notification script?
If you do, you need to grab the value of @V"event" in the job notification script and then pass it to the callable script.

Your guess is correct, this script is in the Script Library. The value in the job notification property is "CometEndOfJob()".

I have put the ref to @V"event" in the job notification script and it works fine. This just seems a little inconsistent with the other @V variables used in this script which are available in a script stored in the Script Library.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

@V"event" and several other macro-variables are specific to their place of executuon (let's call them event script-level visibility) while other are available to the entire job (let's call them job-level visibility)
