Listing 3. Job control stack push function implemented in
MATLAB. sDataPath is the absolute path to the data file to process. This
gets pushed onto the job control table to make it available for
processing.

function push_job_table(iTaskID, sJobName, sDataPath)

sMYSQL = 'mysql -h myhost -u myuser -p<password> myDB';

sSQL = sprintf(['echo "insert into JobManagement (task_id, year, ' ...
                'doy, task_name) values (%d, \\"%s\\", \\"%s\\");"'],
iTaskID, ...
               sDataPath, sJobName);

[status, cmdout] = system([sSQL ' | ' sMYSQL]);
