Almost related to this question, is there a way to call a Lawson batch program from another
cobol program(custom). I tried INVOKE but this is only for online programs. I never have tried this before so my appreciation for any help.

No, you'd have to create a job record and submit it using the 900-CREATE-AND-SUBMIT-JOB API.

You can do a grep on $LAWDIR/prodline/*src/*PD for 900-CREATE-AND-SUBMIT-JOB for some examples. I know BR21 uses that logic...
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
