Re: Automating month-end process

["Tom McKeel " <tmckeel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have automated well over 30 BPCS 6.0.2 jobs to run on a nightly or
month-end basis without writing a
single line code (CL or RPG) using HelpSystems ROBOT scheduler.  The LEARN
mode will capture all
SBMJOB parameters, library list and data areas into a job schedule.  The
robot job scheduler will allow
you to override ANY components of the "learned" job.
