    Not sure If I'm explaining it correctly, but I have a issue, where one out of all the users, is not able to run a batch program and doesn't like the CSV file  layout. The key difference I found with the user and the rest of the users is that this users examine log says:

    "FILE OPTIONS WERE TAKEN FROM USERS LOCALE" for the ZR504-INV file, VS

    "File options were taken from JOBSTEPWRK record".

    I believe it has something to do with the settings?

    Can anyone help me with how I can force the user to use the FILE OPTIONS from JOBSTEPWRK instead of Users Locale?

     

    Thanks.

      Barry;
      Are you on LSF9 or LAUA?
       
      "does not like the CSV file layout",  is it the file layout or not able to generate the file?

        It actually does not like/understand the file layout of the CSV file and keeps saying "Not Found" for every field/data. I'm on LSF9. The program works fine in lawson8 as well as for other users in lawson9.

          Was this a converted/migrated job? You might want to just delete and recreate the job and the CSV peculiarities for this job.
          Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

            I did not migrate the job, but I defined it in jobdef. I recompiled everything in lsf9 and then created the jobs for the users in jobsched. My confusion is why it works for all other users but one?

            Thanks.

              I guess, what I'm trying to find out is what makes the jobs/uses pick the file options from work file options Vs. JOBSTEPWRK? That's the key

                OK, got it working. I did not have the CSV definition option at the workdef level, so it was using the User locale defiinition which was messed up. So I had to delete the options being used by jobdef and then go back and define the options in the WORKDEF, and that fixed the issue.

                thanks for everyone's help.
