Hi Al,
Thanks for the pointers to the BPCs documentation - I'll have a look at that today.
As a side-line we've been using our modified invoice re-print for years (using a prompt for an invoice range). As we have a fairly straight-forward setup here we can request an invoice number and it will always be the right one. I've always felt SSA/Infor/whoever_next need to get their combined heads together and work out what customers want and not what's easy for them to code - but I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one to think that!
Best regards,
Paul

subject: Re: [BPCS-L] Billing re-print automation
I am on version 405CD and somewhat familiar with this from long past efforts.
I believe SYS656 is associated with verification that the person running the BPCS tasks is in fact one of the authorized BPCS users. When we sign onto BPCS interactively, through BPECEMENU CL, this calls into our library list and Job description, a cacophony of conditions and settings associated with our BPCS profile settings.
When we launch a BPCS job to JOBQ from our interactive reality, it carries with it this cacophony of settings and authorizations, so everything works fine. Someone trying to setup something outside of BPCS, to launch some modified software, which might be invoked by CALL CMDSCDE or other System
i/400 capability outside of BPCS, needs to understand and replicate that cacophony. This is explained in BPCSDOC file, which we can access via PDM.
Look for the member SSALOG00 which is a logic manual explaining how BPCS works, including the cacophony of weird settings needed by people doing modifications and add-ons to BPCS.
I feel there is a need for a BIL561 version which could reprint a string of invoices based on a date range, cust# range, etc. It seems to me that
BIL561 has a prompt-like program to get the info needed to reprint ONE invoice, so what is needed is a parallel program to get a string of such info packages, and be connected to a spool file which does not end getting added to until all the inner pieces have quit running.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Billing re-print automation
Hi,
I'm trying to create an automated process that uses the BPCS reprint program BIL561. However, it's crashing with an error that points to program SYS656CC and I a tad confused about it. I think it's to do with a job failing to send a message to a workstation message queue, but I wondered if anyone had already done something similar and how they approached it.
By the way, we're on version 6.0.02.
Regards,
Paul
