Use RUNCOUNT in the Step tab

Hi there. Thanks for all that reply, but the RUNCOUNT option i already use for cont the number of iteractions.

It seems the chookgate solutions will be more appropriate for me, but the tests a used it diddn't work because the postcmd will increment eache time it executes, and i want to count only when the string ( * No matching files for pattern* ) appears.

Any suggestions?

I think you may be best to use a shout to a program to handle this.
On first run of the job, set a global variable (say %%\NOFILECOUNT) to 0.

Every time the job gets the output "No matching files for pattern*:
1. Increment %%\NOFILECOUNT by 1.
2. Run the script, passing to it the value of %%\NOFILECOUNT and the order id.

The script will use ctmvar to check the value of %%\NOFILECOUNT
If the value is 4, then use ctmpsm to perform the Stop Cyclic and Do NOTOK.

Cheers.
