$$() doesn't expand until after the job is matched, so while you
can do queue $(n), you can't when $(n) expands to $$().
Really, what you want is to be able to do math in the submit file,
which is reasonable I think.
$$([]) is a not the way to go about it though.
What you can do is this
condor_q submitfile -a "n=579"
where submitfile has
queue $(n)
We will have to give some thought to how we could add math to
macro expansion in submit.

Hi all,
I have a simple question to the queue command:
I can specifiy the number of jobs as a argument to the queue command in a submit file.
I tried it with a calculated value for this argument but this does not work.
A simple example:
a = 123
b = 456
n = $$([ $(b) - $(a) ])
:
queue $(n)
I don't see any reason for this restriction. $(n) is a constant value.
Can someone explain, why I can only use real numbers as argument for the queue command?
Or exists there a special trick?
This would be quite handy to program loops in Condor, espcially if $(a) or $(b) are also
calculated (constant) values.
Best
Werner
