IN Command

The IN command indicates the beginning of a workstation task.

Each workstation task has a unique reference number. CA WA CA 7 Edition generates this reference number each time the network that is associated with the workstation enters a CA WA CA 7 Edition queue. This number can be obtained by using the LPRE or LPOST commands. The number is then used to log in the start of the workstation tasks. This indicates that the task is in-process and automatically logs the start time for the task being performed.

This function is available as the LOGIN or FORCE LOGIN options on the QM.6 and QM.7 panels.

This command has the following format:

IN,REF={nnnnrrs|(nnnnrrs,...)}[,FORCE=YES]

REF

Defines the workstation tasks to log in.

nnnnrrs

Defines a single workstation task reference number.

Limits: 4 to 7 numeric characters

Note: Workstation task reference numbers can be obtained by using an LPRE or LPOST command.

nnnn: Defines the CA 7 job number. (Leading zeros can be omitted.)
rr: Defines the relative sequence of the network in relation to other networks associated with the job. For input workstation networks, the value is 00. (Leading zeros cannot be omitted.)
s: Defines the relative position of the station within the network. The first station is position 1.

(nnnnrrs,...,nnnnrrs)

Defines up to ten workstation task reference numbers. Enclose the values in parentheses.

FORCE

(Optional) Allows the logging in of an output network before completion of the job to which it is associated. If used, enter the value as shown. FORCE=YES only has meaning for output networks.
