I am on version 405CD and somewhat familiar with this from long past
efforts.
I believe SYS656 is associated with verification that the person running the
BPCS tasks is in fact one of the authorized BPCS users. When we sign onto
BPCS interactively, through BPECEMENU CL, this calls into our library list
and Job description, a cacophony of conditions and settings associated with
our BPCS profile settings.
When we launch a BPCS job to JOBQ from our interactive reality, it carries
with it this cacophony of settings and authorizations, so everything works
fine. Someone trying to setup something outside of BPCS, to launch some
modified software, which might be invoked by CALL CMDSCDE or other System
i/400 capability outside of BPCS, needs to understand and replicate that
cacophony. This is explained in BPCSDOC file, which we can access via PDM.
Look for the member SSALOG00 which is a logic manual explaining how BPCS
works, including the cacophony of weird settings needed by people doing
modifications and add-ons to BPCS.
I feel there is a need for a BIL561 version which could reprint a string of
invoices based on a date range, cust# range, etc. It seems to me that
BIL561 has a prompt-like program to get the info needed to reprint ONE
invoice, so what is needed is a parallel program to get a string of such
info packages, and be connected to a spool file which does not end getting
added to until all the inner pieces have quit running.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Billing re-print automation
Hi,
I'm trying to create an automated process that uses the BPCS reprint program
BIL561. However, it's crashing with an error that points to program SYS656CC
and I a tad confused about it. I think it's to do with a job failing to send
a message to a workstation message queue, but I wondered if anyone had
already done something similar and how they approached it.
By the way, we're on version 6.0.02.
Regards,
Paul
