Re: Running a program with a display file in batch

Ricky -
If you're using the subfile fields in the program, the answer is a qualified "no"...(that is, you could probably make the necessary program changes to allocate a display device and use it from within the batch program, but that would probably be not worth the hassle).
However, as an alternative you could build a sequential workfile in qtemp that has the same fields as does the subfile. Make the necessary code changes in the program to use the workfile instead of the subfile. Then leave the display file closed, and open and use the workfile instead of the subfile in the batch program. 

Regards,
Steve

Subject: Running a program with a display file in batch
Can this be done? We have a program someone modified to not ever display a screen in the program. They still update the fields and update the subfiles 
but they changed it to never do a exfmt so that they could run it without
user intervention.  Now we need to be able to run this same program in
batch. But it says: CPF4103 Device *REQUESTER not found while opening file 
xxxxxx.  Is there a way around this?  Can I make the program think it's
somehow running on a interactive display?
