Using the JOBLIST function to return a listing of comma seperated job id's to a string..

I then use a LOOPUNTIL loop, and check for when the comma seperated list is equal to ""

since this is a listing of numbers.. when the joblist string contains only ONE value, 24x7 no longer considers this value as a string, but as a number..

giving me a type mismatch error when i compare to ""

specifically casting to a string on each iteration has no affect. thoughts on this loop ending properly ? Why doesn't 24x7 keep the type as a string as its specificaly (and initially) cast to ?

You can use the Length statement instead of comparing to empty string. For example

Length my_string, len
If len, DO_ONE, DO_TWO
