There's some midrange.com resources FAQ etc. that BPCS-L could use.
We could ask for help setting up a sub-category here
http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/1.html
For applications / BPCS
But since that being phased out, use the WIKI
http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/Main_Page
Have a sub-category below software that is BPCS, then within there have
shareable solutions to common challenges.
The only social media I am currently active on, which has relevance to us is
http://www.linkedin.com/in/almacintyre
If you also on Linked In, then look at the groups I am in ... there's BPCS
400 ERP etc. there ... maybe one of those has appeal for "bulletin board"
sharing, problem being that the older stuff tends to fall off visibility.

Great solution Christopher - If anyone needs the behind the scene program
names for the special forms print jobs please let me know off-line. It's
too bad we don't have a bulletin board on this forum to post solutions like
this.
Please supply the BPCS version for some of the program names have changed
over the years.

Subject: Re: [BPCS-L] AP check print spool file question
We are on V8.3.1. There are two CL programs that need to reviewed and
possibly modified for custom print file overrides, SYSOVRC and SYS501C.
SYSOVRC performs print file overrides if the job is submitted and runs in
Batch.
SYS501C performs the print file overrides if the job is run interactively
from the menu.
Since many menu options have a run time option on how the job is
run(Batch/Interactive) we add any custom print file overrides to both of
these programs. There is also documentation available from Infor support
on this subject.
Here is sample code snippet from SYSOVRC that performs an override for our
Invoice form.
IF (&W1PGM *EQ 'BIL550B') THEN(DO)
OVRPRTF FILE(BIL550O) PAGESIZE(66 132) LPI(6) CPI(10) OVRFLW(65) +
FORMTYPE('INVOICE') HOLD(*YES) SAVE(*YES)
ENDDO
One "gotcha" is determining the value of variable &W1PGM that is passed as
a parameter to SYSVORC and SYS501C. It is not always what you would
think it should be and make take some detective work to determine. If the
literal value in the IF statement does not match the value in variable
&W1PGM the override will not work. Hope this helps.
