If a job uses a Thing and the job is removed, nothing special need happen, this is normal. If the Thing being used by a job is removed, then the job is also removed. If a job owns a Thing (ie the job set up the Thing in its own memory space) and that job is removed, the Thing is also removed, and any job using that Thing is removed too. Is that what you mean?Derek_Stewart wrote:Hi,

I read JonS attached manual, which slso coverd the Thing_rext v2.17 from QL/E, which is good I thought I had to start programming again.
Amother question with regards to Things, if a Thing creates child thing and this child thing creates jobs to perform tasks relating to the child thing. Is the correct way to remove the child thing, to close the jobs, then remove the child thing use the thing id?
Its complicated, but reasonably well explained in the QDOS - SMSQ Reference manual, section 17. Jochen has also written some articles on Things. These are, or will be, available at Dilwyn's and probably elsewhere.
