John,

Why couldn't you just switch profiles before calling PROGA and switching back 
to the original profile when it's done?

  Well, Brian, we have a program that brings up a display screen. This program
gets called many, many times a day from interactive jobs within Mapics. Well,
under specific circumstances we want to load up some off-line files, then call
turn Mapics loose within a batch job. Batch jobs don't like interactive screen
displays very well, so we need a way of by-passing the screen displays.
    In pseudo code:
    If <interactive job>
        call PROGA as usual
    Else   (batch job)
         call PROGA without screen displays
    Endif.

    Can you shed some light on this?
    John
