Are you sure the code that you posted is exactly like the code in the program? The posted code will work- you can verify this by checking the contents of the memo field. After the string "Job Number 12345 has been cancelled" is in the memo field, there should be no reference to customer.jobnumber for the second routine to see. So this doesn't really make sense.
