Sounds Good.

If your program reads from a data queue as part of it's processing (as a
lot of NEPs do) then it's a simple matter to test for a "shutdown" value
(all "*" or whatever) and then end the program.

Hi Heba,

This is my solution:

Program A is submitted upon system startup (or in the morning for
instance).

Program A submits program B, which does the job it's supposed to do, in
your case authorise the new orders.

Program A waits for a certain time (determined by the number of seconds
in
a data area)

Program A loops back to the submitting of program B.

Hope this helps.

Hi All

I need to write a program to act as a daemon. it should work under a
certain
subsystem (Qbatch for example), wait for the new recoded orders and
authorize them at a predefined intervals of time.

What are the possible programing techniques that can be used to achieve
this
objective other than writing a DB trigger program calling the
authorization
process.

thanks in advance for your help,
Heba
