Ron,

If you can submit it from an interactive session, you may only need to
add the STRMAPICS/ENDMAPICS commands when submitting from the scheduler.

Give it a try,

Hello

We run a current cost rollup once a week and wanted to automate the
process by adding an entry to the AS/400 job scheduler.
I tried following the MAPICS suggestion which can be found on E-INFO by
entering the phrase:  Submit MAPICS batch jobs outside of a MAPICS
environment

This process did not work. So I created a driver program that built the
correct LDA values and called AMDP40 which then submitted AMDP41. This
works fine as long as I call my driver program from an interactive
session. The problem occurs when I add an entry to the job scheduler or
try calling the driver from a batch job. When it runs from batch it does

not work, I get a JOB TERMINATION LOG with error: AMX0186    JOBACT
record
deleted for abnormally ended job

I can find absolutely nothing in the joblog that looks like a problem.
My next step is to strip the MAPICS architecture code out of AMDP41 and
call it directly but before I do that.

Has anyone else gotten the EPDM cost rollup code to work from the AS/400

job scheduler?

Thank You
