RE: System 21 SOP EDI interface

Neil,

My example assumes you have the AI EDI files populated with you interface.

If you have Robot, you can run the job every 5 minutes.  If you don't have
Robot, you will need to write a CL that runs in a subsystem.  To get the job
to run in a subsystem, you need to run a few commands:
CRTSBSD if you want a new subsystem.  Call the subsystem AUTOMATION.  
1.  CRTJOBD for Job
2.  ADDAJE to add job to subsystem you want it to run in.  
The CL will have a Loop with one of the lines of code to be DLYJOB(300), see
CL sample below (you may need to include ADDLIBLE and MONMSG to get the
proper library list:

     PGM        
LOOP:       CALL PGM(SAL2SYS21) 
            RUNAMTSK --- Fill in appropriately for stock allocation parms.

            DLYJOB     DLY(60)                                       
            GOTO       CMDLBL(LOOP)                                

     ENDPGM

Subject: [SYSTEM21] System 21 SOP EDI interface

We are looking at writing a simple interface for taking Sales orders into
S21.  I believe this can be done by populating the AI EDI files and then
running a job to take that data into OEP40, 55 etc.

However, as we want to do "immediate" processing of received orders, I have
two questions;

1) can the job which takes the orders in be run from a batch job so it
executes say every 5 minutes - without a user having to do anything?

2) can this job be made to do automatic stock allocation?

Thanks in advance,

Neil.
