I have the following code snippet in a 24x7 job
which is activated as "Run on Startup""

VERIFY_JOB_QUEUE:
// now verify we have a production job queue
FileExists global.qfilename, ok
IfThen ok, CHECK_MODEM_LIST

// oops... no Job control file
CreateAlert "No Job Queue"
Exit

CHECK_MODEM_LIST:

I know that the missing file is being trapped,
since I am getting an alert email sent by
CreateAlert. But the program does not exit, it
continues on. Can you tell what I'm missing?

Thanks
Paul

I suspect this jobs is being run twice. One time it exist, another time it jums over the Exit because of the "if" logic.
Try adding a MessageBox to the script and rrstarting the scheduler. If am right you will get the message box displayed twice.

If this is something else please post the trace file for this script.
