Josue,

Yep, that'd sure do it!  But wouldn't it be a nice Christmas present if
MAPICS would give us an informational PTF with all the specs already laid
out on how to submit all the batch jobs - how to load the LDA and such for
standard batch reporting/updates?  Like MRP generation, AR closing, and so
on?

Hint Hint to Atlanta   :)

Most MAPICS jobs use the LDA as the parameter for submition of programs.
What we have done in the past is download CL source from MAPICS when
available (i.e. the program that submits the Aged Receivables Report) to
look at the submit command used. To determine how the LDA should be built
we hold QBATCH, submit the job, check for the job on JOBACT file, copy the
LDA fields, identify the paremeters that would change on the LDA (i.e.
month to process) and start testing 'til we get it right. Takes a bit of
testing but once you get it it's easier to do any additional job
submitions.

I would like to create a CL program that, at monthend time, runs a set of
MAPICS A/R procedures automatically, without user interaction.  The
specific
procedures I would like to run are:

1) Aged Receivables Report
2) Paid Item Purge
3) Monthend Close
4) Temporary G/L Print

Currently, we have to have a person run each of these steps manually.  Is
there a 3rd party tool that would allow me to capture the runtime
environment (LDA, Library List, Job Switches, QTEMP library, etc, etc.) so
that I could determine how to run these from within my own CL program? Or,
is there a 3rd party out there that already has the ability to do this?
Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave
