I schedule a job in ReportCaster to run a report from the Dashboard.

I then open the scheduled job, and click the Run button to run the job immediately.

As the job is executing, I need to access job info from the BOTTASK table to retrieve and process some fields from the current job.

My problem is that I don't know how to get a hold of the PACKETID or TASKID parameters. I have access to &DSTSCHEDID, which stores the SCHEDULEID value, but this is only useful when the scheduled job runs at the scheduled time (not when I intervene and click the Run button).

Does anyone know how to access the PACKETID or TASKID info?

Thanks!
Sean

I opened a case with IBI, and apparently I'm SOL.
