# AMOSJOB1

> [HTML Version](amosjob1.htm)

This causes the JOBNAM subroutine to return the name of the parent job rather than the current job, when the current job was launched via ASHELL[XS](keyword-types.htm.md) and the ASHELL\_RUNSBR switch is not active. This mimics one aspect of the way Xcall AMOS worked under AMOS—i.e. that the child process was still the original job. Note that under A-Shell, the child process is truly a separate job and thus cannot share any memory based information, unless the ASHELL\_RUNSBR switch is active.
