00849: Error=150 – Verb not implemented or supported when using BACKGROUND verb

Title:

Error=150 – Verb not implemented or supported when using BACKGROUND verb in VPRO/5.

Description:

The most likely cause for this error is if the user is trying to implement the ‘BACKGROUND’ verb in a Windows environment. 

Resolution:

The ‘BACKGROUND’ verb is limited to UNIX-based platforms with the PRO/5 product line. In Windows, you would use CALL, SCALL, or another session of VPRO/5 to run the process. With VPRO/5, Rev 2.x, you can have as many sessions of VPRO/5 as the resources on that machine can afford.

BBj fully supports the BACKGROUND verb on all platforms.
