Job variables in BS2000 systems

openFT (BS2000) offers the option of using a job variable to monitor a file transfer request. The name of the job variable, as well as any password required to access this variable are specified with the file transfer request. The job variable that monitors a request is also used to identify the request and may be used as a selection criterion to abort the request or obtain information about it. Further, it can be used for event control purposes, or to change request priorities.
