      Hi TJ Mann,

      What exactly are you trying to accomplish by putting PF in a shell script?

        i was thinking, write shell script:

        if status_code=1, kick off $LAWDIR/bpm/pfrepository/flowABC.xml

        notice, won't work this way. my next step: write prog in cobol, and jqsubmit

          Gotcha.

          If you are using Pflow "Classic" (i.e. LSF Pflow rather than IPA/Landmark Pflow) then the thing to use is the FileClient utility to trigger a flow from within your script. FileClient requires an input file, but the file can be empty if your flow doesn't require input data.

          If you are using IPA then it is considerably more difficult, but still possible in other ways.

          Good Luck!
