add new job - update print distribution

You should be able to use a WebRun to push your report out. I don't know if you can push out to a distribution group - this is how you send it to a particular user.

Web Program: cgi-lawson/jobrun.exe
Post String: FUNC=run&USER=dwilliams&JOB=LOADRPTS&OUT=text

In theory, you could update GEN directly with an SQL node.

Karen,

Try running an SQL update node against GEN after the job has been created,
but before it is submitted. The example below is for a Windows username =
'NT00000003', Jobname = '1GL290', and distributes the four reports to a
distribution group = 'TSTGRP'

UPDATE JOBSTEPRPT
SET DSTGRP='TSTGRP'
WHERE USERNAME='NT00000003'
AND JOBNAME='1GL290'
AND PRTFILENAME IN ('GL290.prt', 'currency1', 'currency2', 'error-rpt')

I have not actually done this, but I see no reason it would not work,
presuming the values are valid.

Start off by testing just one of the report files.

HTH,
-Shane

Shane,
I'd rather not update any tables directly, if I can avoid it. I did find a command line utilitiy called loadrpts. I don't think it will do what I want unless I copy the print files to a directory under the "receiving" users' id which has lots of pit falls since I anticipate 500 or more reports to be run within this 3 week or so period (merit). We are using a generic batch Unix id to run the jobs. Maybe I simply need to run the job under the user id of the user in the compensation department.
Still thinking,
Karen
