Hey all

I'm working with the Windows Task Scheduler and I've seen something weird.

service=createobject("schedule.service")
service.connect()
rootfolder=service.getfolder()
oTasks=rootfolder.gettasks(0)\
FOR EACH task in oTasks
IF task.path == "some task"
oTask = task
ENDIF
ENDFOR

oTaskDef = oTask.Definition
oTrigger = oTaskDef.Triggers.Item[1]


The kind of trigger may be Daily, Weekly, Monthly and will have various properties.

oTrigger.DaysInterval has to exist on a daily trigger, but not on a weekly trigger.

I tried with PEMSTATUS()

IF PEMSTATUS(oTrigger,"DaysInterval",5)
ADDPROPERTY(poParms,"DaysInterval",oTrigger.DaysInterval)
ENDIF


It never detects the DaysInterval even on the Daily trigger.

I ended up using TRY like this

TRY
ADDPROPERTY(poParms,"DaysInterval",oTrigger.DaysInterval)
CATCH TO loError
ENDTRY


But I would like to know how to apply pemstatus and why it doesn't work for education's sake.

Thanks
