Examining Jobs

Now we have a job, what do we do? First lets take a poke around and find out a bit about our Job. The obvious place to start would be to get a description of our job. This is easy, a call to the Job function GetJobDescription returns just that. Also, one can examine the state, initial, scheduled, running, ..., of our job with a simple call to the deceivingly named Job function GetState. Also, if you still are itching for more info, then you can call on the Job function GetInfo which returns a Table containing a set of name/value paris which are defined in the GAT API specification.
