    We have a need to produce a report based off the information found in the GEN tables (USER, USEREXE, and PROGRAM specifically). Lawson says I can report off them using CASE. They had me create a GEN product line in DBDEF and create the program in that product line under system code UN. I quick painted the program, but when I tried to generate and compile the program, I got several errors. I was able to clean up most of the errors, but now I get:

    GetUserFd: File not in dictionary: Error 0
    GetUserFd: File not in dictionary: Invalid argument

    when I try to compile the report. Lawson has said they do not know why I would be getting this error. Anyone here have an idea about what I am doing wrong?

      Try running 'rngdbdump -c gen USER >user.csv' and reporting out of MS-Access or other program. We did this to satisify our auditor's needs.

      Good luck,

        Utilizing DME is also an option for viewing (http://servername/cgi-law...OD=GEN&FILE=userkey) or exporting (http://servername/cgi-law...ey&OUT=CSV&NOHEADER) from GEN.

          "rngdbdump -n GEN queuedjob -f jobname username jobqueue -v status=30:37" is an example of the rngdbdump that i got from the Tips and Tricks from this site.  It looks in GEN then queuedjob and gives me data regarding jobs in a status of 30 through 37 (waiting, needs recovery, etc)

            Do you know how to get a listing of all the GEN tables and their functions? I want to try to use the dme option but not sure the name of the table I need.

              There used to be a class in the lawson training area called something like "Inside the Gen Database".

                Matt,
                To get a listing you could use the following command - count gen > gen.log . That would place the list in the file gen.log. It only gives you a list of the tables and record counts but not a description. Hope this helps.

                  Thanks Jim.  This is exactly what I needed!

                    As long as you have GEN created as a product line with system codes under it, you can use
                    [b] dbdoc gen lo[/b] Which will produce (at least in the Lawson production app prodline) tables, relations, field names, descriptions, etc.

                      You will have to substitute the lo above with whatever system code that you have defined under GEN.
