RE: Printing order acknowledgments

Where are you running the RCLRSC with respect to the call to AMBF2XFR?
Make sure you are running them from the same call level.  For example, I
call the acknowledgment print from an ILERPG program and directly
afterwards call QCMDEXC with the RCLRSC command.

Nathan and Dave,
        I tried both of these commands (RCLRSC and the RCLACTGRP) but
neither one of these worked. The file still hangs open. BTW, we have a
data mining package on our system called GPS, so this might be where the
GPS1 activation group comes from. GPS has NO interaction with Mapics or
my order ack, but it seems like too big a coincidence that the
activation group is called GPS. 
        John

John,

Your parms are correct and I don't think that the COM order
acknowledgment program creates an activation group called GPS1 since it
is not an ILE program.  What I had to do after the call was RCLRSC which
could be undesirable in certain instances.  Give a try and see.

I don't know about the parms, but it is the activation group that's
causing the file to hang open.  They must be using it for performance
reasons, saving the startup overhead.

An alternative to signing off would be to run the CL command RCLACTGRP
ACTGRP(GPS1).  This will shut it down and release the files, at the cost
of a full initialization the next time you start it up again.

List:
I found out about program AMBF2XFR to print order acknowlegments from
searching the archives. It's working for me, except the file that gets
created remains open until I sign out of the session that created it. I
noticed in my job log that it uses an activation group (GPS1). Could
that have something to do with it? It acts as if it is waiting for me to
print more order acks to the file. 
The parms for this program are a 7 alpha code string (I'm sending all
blanks), and a 256 alpha string with company number (2/0), internal
header type (1A) and the 7 character customer order number. Do I need to
send another field in the 256 byte parm?

Thanks,
