RE: Override a display file....

Mike,

Albert York has an API for this. It allows you to pass data (in batch) to an
interactive screen program.

Look at the bottom for TNAPI.

Hi All,

I have an interesting situation.  I need to run an interactive program with
a part number for several thousand parts.  A report is generated for each
individual part.  What I would like to do is to make this either an
unattended interactive process (where we do not have to enter each
individual part number) or batch process.  I tried to override the display
file to a physical file with fields the same size.  I was receiving an I/O
error.  I do not have the source for the RPG program and I can not recreate
the program.  I was thinking along the lines of overriding to a physical
file (one that contains the part numbers) and letting it run to create the
reports.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks...

Mike
