Re: How to test if a symbol has been initialised

If you have a job submitted to a batchqueue, the sumbmitted procedure won't hold the changes. AFAIK the quemanager holds the file-ID, not the file-specification (or, if it does, it will include the version number).
So the first run (using the original file)won't show the change, after re-submit (by hand or automatically) it will use the new file and then you'll notice the changes.
So if you run your procedures in batch, this _could_ have been the case. You should delete the existing entries and resubmit. (there will undoubtebly bee more sofisticated ways, but this is what I know working)
Don't blush, I made that mistake quite often myself ;-).
