[HTCondor-users] Odd behaviour between pools?

[Ian Cottam <Ian.Cottam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a couple of Condor Pools I do the trick where the last line of my submit looks like:
Queue $(qnum)

And then I do
condor_submit -a qnum=20 submit

And all works as expected. 

However, on a Pool with condor_version 8.3.8 BuildID RH-8.3.8-1.el7 I get:
WARNING: the line 'qnum = 20' was unused by condor_submit. Is it a typo?

Note that if I drop the -a (or -append) and just use qnum=20 it works.

So, no big deal - just curious.
