RE: Invoice release automatisation

We have spent some significant time with several different folks contributing 
to automate this function. Unfortunately most are gone.

However, bil501 is a spawned job from bil500 and depends heavily on the 
workstation and the user ID. Some issues to consider:
1) Find the ("spawned") job log and determine if you are getting halts due to 
numerous "Security Violation" messages coming from SYS656CC.
2) SYS042B program which almost all of BPCS uses to retrieve the workstation 
ID, which is a critical piece of information for the batch billing job stream. 
we hard coded the workstation.
3) Invoice selection method: normally BIL500B/BIL500D/BIL501D in conjunction 
mark BBH/BBL records as ready for processing by BIL501B. I have not been able 
to get the BPCS method to work in batch and have inserted a program at the 
front of BIL501B that makes all BBH/BBL records look ready to BIL501B for 
invoicing. This seams to be working. Do you want this method to be permanent or 
should I continue to spend more time trying to get BIL500B to work in batch via 
ROBOT?

Subject: Invoice release automatisation


I wrote a RPG program to submit the BIL500 program automatically. My
program generated all the parameters needed to call the BIL500B. The
BIL500B program update the BBL and BBH file correctly, but the BIL501B seem
not run and any other job are submitted.
Is somebody have automated the invoice release?
Are they another way to skip the BIL501D1-01 screen?


I'm on V6.1.01 mixed mode.
