RE: IM Transaction History Reports

["Kevin Fox" <kdfox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was a simple and elegant solution.

I'd also suggest using the MAPICS report writer tools if you have them.
InfoWorkplace, Valet and Jacana.

We've implemented them many times and have replaced most of the "standard"
packaged reports at one time or other.

The really nice feature of the toolset, related to the particular problem of
a run away report, is that you can setup by user, group of users or report
how and when you'd allow them to run.

In other words, if the report is submitted by Employee A and will take 1 hr
to run, then run at night; if submitted by Employee B then run immediately
in interactive mode; if submitted by Employee C, then prevent running the
report.

It is a simple and elegant solution, just like the one that Ann submitted.

Way to go Ann.

Thanks, Ann.  We took the enhancement and commented out 2 lines of code.
Now the 'Warning'
no longer allows a submit.

Bonnie,

Look at SH67520.  Gives a warning message that no limits have been entered.

I believe that if both the "from" and "to" aren't populated, no report
should be written instead of the other assumption that all records should
be
written to a report.

Has anyone modified the IM transaction history reports screen so user
 cannot submit with blank parms thereby selecting ALL?

This is another of those jobs that when you try to kill it, it resubmits
itself.  Is there any place to turn off the 'resubmit' function?

We currently have disabled the menu option but we have some valid users.

Thanks,
