We set up a multi-step job to do all of the benefits pre-payroll processing,
and instead of opening each report in PDF in the print manager and then saving each report into the payroll folder for that pay period, we would like
to save all of the pdf's into the payroll folder after the multi-step finishes. Is there any way to do this without using Process Flow?

You may be able to do such a thing with LBI's new version.. I haven't tried it yet, but version 10.3 of LBI has the ability to store to a directory.
You could set up a datasource pointing to your backoffice report, and see what you can do from there.

Or if you'd rather, you could write a script to do a
bldxffiles -SP .............
then copy the pdf files to a network share

Using .cfg files, you can set up product line, system code(s) or even specific tokens to generate PDF as output by default when the job is run.
Then you can set up a multiple-step job and use a script as second step to copy off the PDFs.
What platform are you on, and/or have you ever set up tokens for scripts (using tokendef) before?
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

John,
We are remote hosted Unix. I have never set up tokens for scripts. Can you recommend a resource where I could learn how to do that?
