This function is intended only for use from the JOBADMIN program. It uses a separate thread to process the launch, and returns immediately. For more information about the launch process, see the description of the Launch function.
Windows messages are posted to the passed window handle with the following parameters:
| Msg: | WM_USER + 7 |
| wParam: | Number of items already launched |
| lParam: | Total number of items in the job instance |
If an error occurs during the launch which causes the launch to terminate, the negative error number will be returned in both parameters.
The calling program should treat wParam=lParam as an indication that the launch has finished. Until the last message for the launch, messages are only sent after every ten items have been launched. If the monitored launch is cancelled by setting parm2 to CANCEL, then both message parameters will be set to the number of items already launched.
To cancel a launch, the passed window handle must be the same as that passed when the monitored launch was initiated. Launching multiple jobs concurrently in monitored mode is neither supported nor prevented.
Job Status:
Before the launch, job status is set to 25 (launch in progress).
If the monitored launch is cancelled, job status is set to 32 (suspended)
If the launch terminates on error, job status is set to 29 (launch failed)
If the job is suspended during launch, job status is set to 32 (suspended) on launch termination
After the launch terminates normally, job status is set to 30 (active)
For details of the 'FAIL n' option, see Launch.
