Re: Passing Parms to BPCS Programs

[LDEBONDT@xxxxxxxxxx]

     As far as I know there are two methods to accomplish this : 
     
     1) If you have ROBOT (a product of Pacific) :
     use the ROBOT learn function.  This function captures all parameters, 
     library list, *LDA, etc.... of a job.  This way you can schedule this 
     job at a later time.  We are using this method for quite some time and 
     it works fine.  However, this method assumes that the input parameters 
     are the same most of the time.  If not, you can try method 2.
     
     2) Change SYS003B/SYS003C to capture all the parameters and write them 
     to a file.  At a later time you can read the parameters on this file, 
     call SYSOVRC/SYSOVRB and pass the parameters to this program.  This is 
     exactly what BPCS does so it should work (look at the source of 
     SYS003B/SYS003C for details).  I haven't tried it yet but I will soon.

Does anyone have a method for scheduling BPCS jobs in the AS400 Job 
Scheduler.  Up to this point I have been writing CLs to call the programs 
but am now running into some trouble trying to figure out how to pass the 
proper parms to the BPCS programs (i.e. MRP500).  Any help would be 
appreciated.
     
Thank you
