you might want to consider using triggers on the ECL. we do it and we record any time an order is entered , maintained, or deleted whenever the order qty or selling price changes. (ie whenever the backlog value is affected) the trigger program logs any such changes to a transaction file. each evening we then use this file to produce order input value reports. i think you could use the same technique to capture any changes that would cause an order to be reprinted and then use the batch program at night to read the file and reprint the orders. >>> THarteau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 09/12/03 05:52AM >>> Hi, I am on V6.02. We have a program that prints any new orders taken out the previous day and also any changes made to existing orders. It is a batch program that compares entry date and last maintained date to a record in a work file. If it is different, there has been a change (in item number, quantity, price, salesperson or customer). The programs were written when we first got BPCS many, many years ago. It was maintained to keep working, but has some serious holes. I need to rewrite it without the holes. Some of the problems are: the work file is keyed by order #, line # (the item number can and does change), but we have had users resequence the order, We have had lines deleted, and L01 was used, so it was never reduced, and several unexplained things where it just did not update correctly. Does anyone have any ideas on how to track the changes? I'm not looking for any product to purchase, it is home grown and needs to stay that way. I am just starting to look at different ways to do it, and thought I would see if anyone else is already doing something similar. <===================================================> Terri Harteau **************** "There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes." - Dr. Who **************** _______________________________________________ This is the SSA's BPCS ERP System (BPCS-L) mailing list To post a message email: BPCS-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/bpcs-l or email: BPCS-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/bpcs-l.
