Using COBOL Requests

All variables in the copy member PTCUSTAT.CBL should be set (or to be supplied by default, if appropriate) by the application COBOL program before any call to PTPUSTAT. The only exception is PRUNSTATUS-RC, which is set by PTPUSTAT to reflect the success of your call.

Set CONTINUE-JOB-YES to TRUE if a process is part of a job definition and you want the next process request to run despite the run status that is set by the current request. Normally, subsequent job requests are selected to run only if the prior request finishes with a status of Successful.

Note:

All Workflow processes have internal APIs that do not require specific hooks from application modules. See the PeopleTools-based source member PTPTEDIT.CBL for an example of how to enable COBOL-based members to interact with PTPUSTAT.
