RE: attaching the userid to inventory batches

We have figured out how to pass the user name into the TRMID field (the old workstation ID field) in program AMI3H.  If you create a field under the LDA data structure (you can call it anything you want), then you can move it to the TRMID field just before the program writes the record to IMHIST.  This will work for transactions that flow through the Unattached Jobs also.  One thing we haven't tried though are transactions flowing in from barcoding (ie. PM&C using TRDATA).  Also be aware of other add-on packages that create MAPICS transactions, that they might not have all the information in the LDA parm (just enough to allow the program to run).

P.S.  We logged this as an incident with the folks at MAPICS and the person I spoke with said that they are getting more requests for this kind of tracibility and will talk to some people about it.

        I am trying to find a way to attach the user ID to inventory batches
instead
of the job name (qpadev0008 for example) so that we know who entered the
batch.  Has anyone else had a need to do this? What was your method?

        Thanks
