I don't think POPS scripts are all that hard in fact so I do not 
understand all this python business.  Your script did not do the IF 
statements right.  I attach a corrected one.  I would normally use the 
DOWAIT=true adverb to GO and not the WAIT verb after GO.  Then if UVSUB 
fails, the proc stops while in this one it would keep going.
